Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image titled "Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)" by the artist Yanone depicts a metal arrowhead with a pointed tip. The arrowhead is silver-gray and exhibits a brushed metal texture with visible scratches and marks. A design is cut out from the center, featuring curved lines and a cross shape at the bottom. The arrowhead has a wide, flat base with curved sides that taper inward toward the tip. A short, thin metal piece extends from the base of the arrowhead, presumably the top of the arrow shaft. The background of the image is black.
