horned helmet
Pointed battle cap
A horned helmet is a helmet with horn-like projections, associated in popular imagination with Vikings—though historical Vikings didn't actually wear them.
The image comes from 19th-century Romantic art and opera costumes.
Horned helmets did exist in Bronze Age Europe for ceremonial purposes: He dressed as a Viking in a horned helmet for Halloween.
