Full description: |
A helmet made from beige cloth. It consists of a hood with a funnel-like opening, with the hood extending to cover the tops of the shoulders, with an opening at the front from the base to the neck. It is made from several panels of single-layered cloth, with a double layer in the ear area. The funnel is reinforced with zigzag stitching and the brim is stiffened with wire. The wire protrudes on either side under the chin and is bent to form a hook and eye, and the helmet also fastens under the chin with a brown plastic button. There are traces of a textile label at the base.
