Helmet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Helmet by an unknown artist shows a metallic helmet with a domed top. The top of the helmet is silver and has vertical ridges running down it. A short finial is on top. A metal band encircles the base of the dome. The band features a pattern and small metal balls. Below the band hangs a curtain of chain mail that covers the face and neck. The chain mail is made of dark metal and has a scalloped edge. The helmet appears to be on a black pole. The background is grey.
