Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow metal blade titled "Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)" by artist Yanone. The blade is long and thin with a pointed tip. The blade is wider at the tip and tapers to a narrower width about halfway down. It then widens slightly into a flat, wide section with a slight concave curve on both sides before narrowing again where it meets the handle. The blade is mostly gray with areas of darker gray and black. The handle is mostly outside of the frame but appears to be made of brown wood. The background is black.
