Bascinet
The bascinet by Master Etienne, features a teardrop-shaped metal helmet made of silver-colored metal. A pointed top tapers to a small knob. The helmet's front has a T-shaped face plate with two horizontal slits for the eyes and a triangular nose guard. A distinctive feature is a metal plate on the forehead with a hinge at the top and a latch at the bottom, secured by three rivets. The sides of the helmet have a row of rivets along the edge. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
