Halberd

Cleveland Museum of Art

Halberd by unknown artist. The image shows a medieval weapon with a long metal shaft and two metal projections. The shaft is long and thin with a dark-colored wood grain visible. It has a metal spike at the top, pointed straight up. Attached to the shaft, just below the spike, are two metal projections, one on each side. The left projection is a long, thin triangle with a human skull design. The right projection is a wide, curved shape resembling a bird's wings, with a human face in the center. The background is a gradient of gray, transitioning from light in the center to dark at the edges.
