The creator of this exquisite piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its already intriguing presence. The helmet itself is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of its time, constructed with steel and iron materials that have stood the test of time. Adorned with intricate patterns and a vibrant floral design, it reflects the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions prevalent in both Bhutanese and Tibetan cultures.
