Morion-Cabasset

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Morion-Cabasset by an unknown artist. Silver-colored metal helmet with a pointed top and a flared brim that curves upwards at the front. The helmet features engraved designs, including a circular emblem on the forehead area and curved lines along the sides and back. The brim has a rope-like edge and is adorned with six gold-colored rivets. The interior of the helmet is visible at the front and appears to have a black lining and gold-colored hardware. The helmet is displayed on a stand, set against a gray background that is darker at the top and lighter at the bottom.
