viking helmet
Scandinavian warrior's cap
A viking helmet is a horned or winged helmet of the type popularly associated with Norse warriors, though actual Vikings wore plain helmets without such adornments.
The horned version persists in costumes, sports mascots, and cartoon depictions: He showed up to the party in a viking helmet.
The term often implies something cartoonish or stereotypically Norse rather than historically accurate.
