Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Yanone Arrowhead by artist is a silver-colored, metal arrowhead with a pointed tip. The arrowhead features a long, thin, triangular shape with a rounded point. Two prongs extend downward from the base of the arrowhead. The prongs are thin and taper to a point. A small, circular hole is visible near the base of the arrowhead, between the prongs. The metal appears weathered, with visible signs of wear and tear. The background of the image is solid black, providing a stark contrast to the arrowhead. The arrowhead is centered in the image, with no other objects visible.
