The Karma was a ceremonial helmet worn by the Guild of Venturers. It was made with metal covered with layers of dyed leather, and was meant to resemble a fish. I think it looks like a snail on LSD. While not practical for use on the battlefield, it is theorized that sturdier variants were used by the warriors of Numenor, and that the design drawn by Tolkien was likely stylized.
