The Cabasset by an unknown artist shows a silver-colored helmet. The helmet is symmetrical and dome-shaped with a pointed top. A decorative band encircles the bottom of the helmet, featuring a repeating pattern of raised circular designs. Small rivets are visible along the edge of the helmet's brim. A metal rod protrudes from the bottom of the helmet. The background is a gradient gray.
