Visor

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Visor by an unknown artist shows a silver metal visor with a scratched and weathered texture. The visor is shaped like a shield with a pointed bottom, and has two curved sections on either side that curve around the face. The top of the visor has a slight curve, with a central ridge running down the middle. A horizontal slit spans the center of the visor, likely for vision. The visor appears to be made of metal, with visible scratches and marks on its surface. The background is light gray.
