Visor for an Armet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Visor for an Armet, created by Hans Stopler, is a metal piece with a roughly triangular shape and a wide, curved top. The piece is made of silver-colored metal with a weathered appearance and scattered darker spots. The bottom of the piece comes to a point and has a seam running vertically down the center. There are two small tabs or projections, one on each side, near the top. The surface of the piece has several small holes and pits, giving it a worn appearance. The background of the image is light gray.
