Helmet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Helmet by Filippo di Bartolomeo Dugnano, an Italian armor maker active in Milan in the late 1500s. The helmet is a dark metallic color, possibly gray or black. It features a rounded top with a decorative design around the knob. The main body of the helmet has a woven pattern of interlocking strips of metal in a grid, with small gold-colored stars. The brim is wide and flat with a gold-colored rim and 18 curved metal strips extending from the rim to the main body. The background of the image is a plain off-white surface.
