LOL Tom!!

I don’t know how terrifying this is, but the craftsmanship is stunning.

He would see out the long slits above the wee beady little eyes.

I think we could revive this art with bike helmets. What gang wouldn’t want to be this intimidating.:^p

He looks scared…. Or drunk. Maybe if the teeth were pointy?

That helm would not be used for jousting, its parade armor.

How could he see through those small eyeholes?

1: I’m sure that with that nose, he would.
2: He looks like Gary Larsons’ rendition of a caveman.
