Actually, I suspect that it’s supposed to be a helmet, done with bad perspective. Note the wings (or wing), somewhat in the style of motorcar tailfins of the era.
There are just so many details of this artwork that are wrong! And the tartan is non-symmetrical – but then why even worry about the tartan when the kilt would float freely . . .

Actually, I was referring to the whatchamacallit in his left hand. I'm sure it's supposed to be some kind of weapon, but looks more like a trombone. I used to play a valve trombone that sort of looked like that.

I agree, the helmet looks as though he pieced it together from leftover trim from Cadillac.

It's what the Skian Dubh has mutated into...
