Morion

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Morion by an unknown artist. The image shows a historical helmet on a stand. The helmet is made of metal and has a dark gray color with gold accents. It is shaped like a half-oval and has a pointed top. The front of the helmet is decorated with an etched floral pattern. There are small gold rivets along the edge of the brim. The back of the helmet is open, with a curved lip that points downwards. The helmet appears to be old and worn, with visible signs of aging and use. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The helmet is displayed on a thin metal stand.
