Morion

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Morion by an unknown artist. The image shows a black and silver metal helmet with a wide brim and a curved top. The helmet is angled to the left, with the brim pointing downwards. It has a distinctive shape, with a curved top and a wide, flat brim that is slightly upturned at the edges. The helmet is made of metal, possibly steel or iron, and has a dark brown or black color with some silver accents. There are two small gold-colored rivets on either side of the helmet, near the front. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
