Morion

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Morion by an unknown artist. The helmet has a wide brim that curves upward at the back. The main body of the helmet and brim are silver with gold etching. The etched design on the main body and brim includes curving lines and floral patterns. Three rivets resembling balls are present on the front of the brim. A thin strip of metal runs along the center of the brim. The interior of the helmet shows a brown leather lining, secured with small metal rivets around the edge. The helmet appears to be on a thin metal stand. The background is a gradient gray.
