The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City owns this embossed steel helmet. It dates back to about 1530 and probably originated in the German city of Augsburg. A rooster protrudes from the visor, ready to peck and squawk at any foe who dares to approach. The helmet is six pounds and six ounces of pure meanness.
It’s perfect for brave Sir Robin from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

I can't help but think this is yet another diet piece aimed at the worries of people with too much money.
