Helmet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Helmet by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. The image shows a large metal helmet on a stand. The helmet is made of dark gray metal, possibly steel, and has a rounded top with a curved brim. It is positioned on a clear glass or plastic stand with a cylindrical base and a narrow neck. The helmet's surface features a rough texture and appears to have scratches and marks. A row of small rivets runs along the edge of the helmet's brim and up the right side. The background is a plain light grey color.
