Close Helmet for Tournament

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Close Helmet for Tournament by an unknown artist is a silver-colored metal helmet. The helmet has a rounded top and a flat faceplate with a horizontal opening for the eyes and nose. There are vertical lines running down the helmet, and a series of small holes on the lower part of the faceplate. A small knob is visible on the left side of the helmet. The helmet appears to be made of metal, with a weathered and scratched surface. It is positioned on a stand, angled slightly to the right. The background is a plain gray color.
