Throwing Knife

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Throwing Knife by Songe. This object is a throwing knife with a brown handle wrapped in woven material and a metal blade that is silver in color. The blade has a long, thin, curved top section resembling a crescent moon and a shorter pointed bottom section. The blade features engraved geometric patterns. A cord wraps around the base of the blade where it meets the handle. The handle has two small circular decorations at the bottom. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. A shadow is cast to the left of the object.
