Helmet and Arm Guard

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Helmet and Arm Guard by unknown artist. Dark green and brown helmet with a long spike on top. The helmet is domed with a small knob at the very top where the spike is attached. Two small metal pieces are on either side of the helmet. A red and black band encircles the helmet near the bottom. A long, thin piece of metal runs vertically down the center, attached to a round piece at the bottom. Black chainmail hangs from the bottom of the helmet in four sections. The background is white.
