Morion-Cabasset

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Morion-Cabasset by an unknown artist. The image shows a metal helmet with a conical top that tapers to a point at the top. The helmet has a brim that curves upwards at the back and a visor that covers the face. The helmet is made of dark grey metal with gold etchings depicting various scenes, including people and foliage. The helmet has a decorative edge around the brim with small brass rivets. The helmet appears to be old and worn, with visible signs of aging and wear. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The helmet is displayed on a stand.
