The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a spearhead called "Arrowhead (Yanone)" by an unknown artist. The spearhead is silver with a long, thin, tapered point and a short neck. The blade of the spearhead is shaped like a leaf with a rounded tip, and it has a long, narrow tang. There are two cut-out shapes in the blade: - a rounded triangle shape with a cleft at the top - a four-petaled flower shape below it. The background of the image is black.
