Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a trident-like weapon with a long handle. The metal head of the weapon is shaped like a "V" with the point facing down; it has two prongs that curve slightly outward. The prongs are symmetrical and pointed at the tips. The metal head has a short neck that tapers down to the handle. The handle appears to be made of wood or another organic material and is brown with rust spots. The background is solid black. The title of the image is "Arrowhead (Yanone)" by an unknown artist.
