The armor, by an unknown artist, is a helmet with a silver conical top. A short, thin protrusion topped with a cross-shaped piece extends upward from the center. The top is slightly narrower than the base. A band of gold-colored metal encircles the base with etched details. A shorter piece extends out from the front with a straight edge. A black cloth with gold embellishments hangs from the base. The helmet sits on a white stand. The background is off-white.
