Pellet Crossbow

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a pellet crossbow made by an unknown artist. The crossbow has a brown wooden stock adorned with white inlays. The stock features a series of circular white inlays, each containing a design. The inlays are positioned near the front and rear of the stock and are separated by small gold dots. The crossbow's frame, trigger mechanism, and other metal components exhibit a brown patina. A metal trigger is visible on the right side of the stock. The crossbow's prod is made of a single piece of metal, curved and tied with cord, and appears to be made of a rusted brown material. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
