Helmet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Helmet by Gabriele Bertazzolo, a dark-colored metal helmet with a rounded top and a short neck guard, featuring a series of vertical ridges on the crown and a horizontal band around the middle, with a short protrusion at the top. A flared brim extends from the bottom, angled slightly upwards at the back. The helmet shows signs of wear and tear, with visible scratches and rusty spots. Mounted on a thin metal pole.
