The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows an old metal arrowhead, titled "Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)" by artist "<i>Yanone</i>". The arrowhead is made of silver-colored metal with a pointed tip and straight sides that taper to the point. The base of the arrowhead is slightly wider than the tip and has a short, cylindrical protrusion. The arrowhead is attached to a long, thin, dark brown shaft, possibly made of wood. The arrowhead is positioned vertically, pointing downwards. The background of the image is black on the left and white on the right, with a clear division between the two.
