Helmet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Helmet by Filippo di Bartolomeo Danti. Medium gray metallic helmet with darker gray accents. The helmet is shaped to cover the top and sides of a human head, with a curved top and a pointed front. Three horizontal slits are on the front near the nose area, and a decorative strip runs along the edge of the helmet. There is another decorative strip running diagonally from the nose area to the back of the helmet, with a floral design on the side. The bottom edge of the helmet has a twisted rope-like design. The background is white.
