This miner's helmet is made of lead-free tin and is a miniature model of a miner's helmet. It comes on a high quality keyring. The miner's helmet pendant is presented on a card with a transport and industry theme, which has an industrial background with chains on the front, chains on the sides and a gear wheel in the centre.
Miners used helmets designed specifically for their safety and need for illumination. These helmets were usually made of durable metals such as iron or brass to protect against falling rocks, debris and impacts in the dark and cramped environment of the mines. The helmet had an arched shape that covered the top of the head and provided some protection against impacts.
One of the distinctive features of these helmets was the light holder located in the front. This provided a limited but necessary source of light to help miners orient themselves and detect any hazards or obstacles ahead.
