Sallet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a medieval helmet titled "Sallet" by an unknown artist. The helmet is made of silver-colored metal with a weathered appearance and small black spots. It has a rounded top and a curved visor that covers the face, with a horizontal slit for vision. The visor is slightly protruding and curved downwards. There are six rivets on the left side of the helmet, three on top and three on bottom, each having a conical shape. The helmet appears to be mounted on a thin, cylindrical stand. The background is a gradient of dark gray to light gray.
