Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long-handled metal tool with a flat, wide head. The head of the tool is shaped like a trapezoid with the top side being wider than the bottom side. The bottom portion of the head curves inwards to form a heart shape cut-out. The metal appears to be weathered and has a dark gray color. The handle of the tool is long and thin, made of the same metal as the head, with visible signs of rust or wear. The background of the image is solid black. The title of the image is "Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)" by an unknown artist.
