Halberd

Cleveland Museum of Art

The halberd has a long, straight shaft made of dark-colored wood. A metal head is at the top with a long, thin central blade that tapers to a point. Two curved blades extend from the central blade on either side. The metal shows signs of wear and aging. A tan cord or twine wraps around the top of the shaft where it meets the metal head. The background is gray and darkens towards the top.
