Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a metal arrowhead with a long, thin, pointed tip. The arrowhead is made of metal, likely silver or gray in color, with a darker area where it would attach to an arrow shaft. It has a narrow, tapered shape, with the tip being very sharp and pointed. The arrowhead's body is long and slender, with a slight widening at the base where it meets the shaft. The background is solid black, providing a stark contrast to the metallic sheen of the arrowhead. The title of the image is "Arrowhead (Yanone)" by an unknown artist.
