# Knight Helmet

> A stylized medieval knight helmet resting on the ground (about 0.3 m tall without plume): a flat-topped great helm with eye slits, a cross-shaped reinforcement and breathing holes, or an open conical nasal helm with riveted ribs. Add a feather plume in any color. Great for armor pickups, armory racks, knight characters and castle decoration.
