winged helmet
Valkyrie's battle cap
A winged helmet is a helmet with wings or wing-like projections attached to its sides, associated with Norse mythology and ancient warriors.
The image is largely a romantic invention—actual Viking helmets had no wings—but the winged helmet persists as a symbol of Norse heritage, appearing on sports logos, opera costumes, and fantasy illustrations: The Minnesota Vikings logo features a winged helmet.
