Helmet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Helmet by Alexander Rodchenko. The helmet has a silver-colored metal top with a circular shape. The top is flat with a small hole in the center and two concentric circles etched into it. The metal is weathered with spots of darker metal and some lighter areas. The bottom half of the helmet is covered in bronze-colored chainmail made of interlocking rings. The chainmail covers the sides and extends to the bottom edge of the image. The background is a solid light gray color.
