This is a black and white photograph of a medieval European helmet, specifically a style referred to as a "sallet," which is characterized by a deep, fitting round dome, a fluted visor, and a tail that covers the back of the neck. The helmet is made of metal, and its surface exhibits signs of age, usage, and corrosion. The helmet features a pointed apex at the top, and a series of parallel ridges that emanate from the apex and curve downwards, which were likely designed to strengthen the structure and deflect blows. There is an intricate, yet faint, etched pattern that covers the entire surface, suggesting that it could have been a decorative piece or indicated a high status of the original wearer. The bottom edge of the helmet has a sawtooth design, with alternating curves and points, and there is a noticeable crack or damage on one side. The backdrop is plain, which contrasts with the helmet, drawing focus to its detail and craftsmanship.
