Armet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Armet by an unknown artist shows a silver-coloured, metal helmet with a ribbed top. The helmet has a wide face plate with horizontal slits for vision and ventilation holes below. A narrow band covers the forehead area. The left side of the helmet, near the ear, features a round, ridged rivet or screw. The bottom of the helmet tapers to a point and has rivets or screws along the edge. The helmet appears to be on a thin stand. The background is a solid grey colour.
