The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Helmet, Kulah Khud, made of metal, with a rounded dome and a small finial on top. The dome features etched designs and a gold-colored decorative band around its middle. Long, dark-colored chainmail hangs from the bottom of the dome, falling in four strips, two at the front and two at the back, with a cross-like pattern at the bottom. The helmet is placed on a white cylindrical stand. The background is a plain light grey color.
