Miles Cutchtupts, a famous helmet painter. He died in 1990 when his aerosol exploded, so this may be the word of Dave Derhritrlhghs, one of his understudies, or possibly a fake.
I do hear that Dave Derhritrlhghs' helmets have a similar image to Trek-era Kleins. Cutchtupts (my mistake) was a true groundbreaker, and the pale imitations that followed were considered to be an insult to his memory. Incidentally, it's a little-known fact that Troy Lee used to clean Miles' airbrushes for pocket money after school.

Been checking my art history books. This lid was a special edition by Derhritrlhghs for sale in the middle eastern market.
For some reason it wasn't very popular and remaining examples are rare and command a high price. If this one has some kind of provenance, perhaps even the original fatwah authentication document, it could be worth as much as 3 goats and a camel, perhaps even a first born son if it's a real minter.
