Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a close-up of an arrowhead titled "Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)" by artist Yanone. The object has a long, thin shaft made of dark-colored metal with a worn and rusted appearance. The top of the shaft features a wide, flat, and rounded metal piece with a distinctive shape, resembling a flame or a teardrop with the pointed end facing down. This metal piece has three prongs at the bottom, with the two outer prongs being roughly the same size and the center prong being slightly smaller. The metal piece appears to be made of a lighter-colored metal than the shaft and has a smoother surface with some visible scratches and marks. The background of the image is a solid black color.
