Spearhead

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a bronze spearhead with a long, narrow neck and a small, rounded protrusion on top. The spearhead is made of bronze and has a greenish-brown patina. The blade is shaped like a leaf, with a pointed tip and a straight edge. A raised midrib runs down the center of the blade. The socket is long and narrow, with a small, rounded protrusion on top. The background is white. The spearhead appears to be an ancient weapon, possibly from a historical or archaeological context.
