Knife

Cleveland Museum of Art

Knife by an unknown artist. The image shows a knife with a long, twisted metal blade and a short, wrapped handle. The blade is dark gray and has a pointed tip. It is twisted, with two strands of metal spiraling around each other. The blade widens into a pointed oval shape just above the tip. The handle is wrapped with a light brown material, possibly leather or plant fibers, in a spiral pattern. A flat, pointed oval piece of metal with a rough surface is attached between the blade and the handle. The background is a gradient from dark grey at the top to light grey at the bottom. The object casts a shadow on the surface below it.
