Side view of a design for an armor helmet with an open visor (facing the left). The design of the helmet itself is relatively simple, but it has been decorated with an elaborate headdress made up out of tiers of feathers reaching upward. On top of the highest plume is a small figure of cupid with bow and arrow.
