Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a close-up of an arrowhead named Yanone. The arrowhead is silver and Y-shaped, with two curved prongs pointing outward and slightly upward. The prongs are symmetrical and have a slight curve at the tip. There is a heart-shaped hole between the prongs. The base of the arrowhead is narrow and flares out slightly where it meets the shaft. The shaft is long and thin, made of dark brown or black material, possibly wood, and is mostly straight. The background is solid black.
