Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a close-up of an ancient bronze spearhead titled "Arrowhead (Yanone)" by artist unknown. The spearhead is long and narrow with a pointed tip. The blade is a dark gray color with visible rust spots and a slightly weathered appearance. The base of the blade where it meets the shaft is narrow. The shaft is partially visible, appearing to be made of a similar dark gray material as the blade, and is heavily corroded. The background of the image is a solid black color.
