Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, thin, pointed metal object with a narrow, elongated shape. The object is silver-colored and appears to be made of metal. It has a sharp point at the top and tapers to a narrower width towards the tip. The object has a slight curvature to it, with the top half being slightly thicker than the bottom half. There are some darker spots on the surface of the object, possibly indicating rust or corrosion. A portion of a brown handle with red numbers written on it is visible below the metal object. The background of the image is solid black. The object is titled "Arrowhead (Yanone)" by an unknown artist.
