Helm of Yoyon-Quacalalatl

This imposing headpiece is fashioned from the thick, carmine red (#960a18) hide of a giant ritualistic serpent, stretched over a frame of ashen bone (#c6c3a3). The helmet depicts the snarling visage of a reptilian predator, with large, multifaceted rubies set into the eye sockets that pulse with a rhythmic, bloody light. An ethereal mist of dark necrotic energy perpetually clings to the leather, flowing downward like heavy smoke that obscures the wearer's neck and shoulders. The interior is lined with cool, obsidian-smooth scales that feel strangely like cold flesh against the skin.
