Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long-handled, two-pronged metal tool with a heart-shaped hole. The tool is made of metal, likely silver or chrome, and has a long, thin handle. The top of the tool splits into two prongs, curved slightly outward, resembling a fork. Between the prongs, a heart-shaped hole is visible. The background is black, providing high contrast with the tool. The title of the image is "Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)" by an unknown artist. The overall appearance suggests an antique or traditional design. The tool appears to be symmetrical. The prongs are smooth and shiny. The handle extends downward out of view.
