Cabasset

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Cabasset by an unknown artist is a silver-colored metal helmet with a conical top and a wide brim that curves upwards slightly at the edges. The helmet has a rough, uneven surface with visible scratches and marks. It appears to be made of metal, possibly steel or iron, and has a weathered appearance. The helmet is displayed on a narrow stand, and the background is a plain gray color. The helmet is viewed from the front, with the top of the helmet pointing upwards.
