Visor for a Bascinet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Visor for a Bascinet by Master Hugo is a silver-colored metal piece with a weathered appearance. The visor is shaped like an inverted triangle with curved extensions on either side at the top. The top edge of the visor is curved and open, with two pointed projections on either side. A horizontal slit spans the middle of the visor, consisting of two curved sections. The surface of the visor exhibits a worn appearance with visible signs of aging and wear, including discoloration and pitting. The background is a plain light gray color.
