Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image titled "Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)" by the artist is a close-up photograph of an old, silver-colored arrowhead. The arrowhead has a long, narrow, pointed shape with a flat base and slightly curved sides. It has a small circular mark near the base with a star-like design in the center. The arrowhead appears to be made of metal, likely silver or steel, with visible signs of wear and tear, including dark spots and discoloration. It has a long, thin shaft or handle extending from the base of the arrowhead. The background of the image is solid black, providing a stark contrast to the metallic appearance of the arrowhead.
