Helmet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The helmet, by an unknown artist, is a rounded, domed shape with a small finial on top. The helmet has a predominantly reddish-brown color with green patina. It features small rivets along the edges and around the eye holes. A chainmail curtain hangs from the bottom of the helmet, made up of small, interlocking metal rings. The chainmail is longest on the sides, with uneven lengths. The helmet sits atop a clear, cylindrical stand. The background is a plain white surface.
