Combat-Damaged Helmet

Behind the scenes at the Glenbow Museum. This close helmet is one of the objects I am most honoured to have worked with. It is a gorgeous piece with a bellows visor, and the damage and subsequent repairs to it suggest that the last man who wore it into combat likely died of the injuries he sustained whilst wearing it.
