Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image, titled "Arrowhead (Yanone)" by the artist, shows a close-up of a silver-colored arrowhead with a rusted metal shaft. The arrowhead is centered and oriented vertically, with its tip pointing upwards. It has a long, narrow, and slightly rounded triangular shape with a pointed tip. The base of the arrowhead is indented and slightly elongated. The arrowhead appears to have a weathered appearance with visible signs of wear and tear. The background of the image is solid black. The shaft is made of a rusted metal and is only partially visible. The overall appearance suggests an ancient or historical artifact.
