a medieval crusader-style great helm with a cylindrical, bucket-like shape. The main body is black, and the front is reinforced with polished brass or gold-colored metal plates. A large metallic cross dominates the face, running vertically from the top to the bottom and horizontally across the eye slit. The eye slit is a narrow horizontal opening, and below it are rows of small round ventilation holes. The metal plates are attached with visible rivets, giving the helmet a hand-forged appearance.
