Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a silver-colored Arrowhead titled Yanone by the artist unknown. The arrowhead is shaped like a pointed leaf with rounded edges, wider at the top than at the bottom. The arrowhead features a design of three black four-leaf clovers stacked on top of each other. There are thin lines radiating from the center of the clovers. The base of the arrowhead tapers into a long, thin handle. The handle appears to have red writing on it, but it is not legible. The background of the image is black. The image is well lit and centered.
