Helmet by Gilded Bronze. The helmet has a wide, curved brimless design with a rounded top edge. The main body of the helmet is made of dark metal, possibly bronze or iron. A decorative gold-colored metal band encircles the top edge of the helmet. The band features a series of small, raised bumps along its lower edge. On the front of the helmet, there are three gold-colored metal spirals, arranged in a triangular formation. The spirals are attached to a decorative plate with a teardrop shape and a red gemstone at its center. The helmet appears to be old and worn, with visible signs of aging and use. The helmet is displayed on a gray metal stand.
