Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows the "Arrowhead (Yanone)" by an unknown artist, a metal arrowhead with a long shaft. The arrowhead is silver-colored, with a pointed tip and two symmetrical, curved notches on either side near the base, resembling a trident or a spearhead. The shaft is long and thin, made of a dark brown or black material, possibly wood, with visible signs of aging or wear. The background is solid black with tiny white specks scattered throughout. The arrowhead is centered in the image, with the shaft extending downward out of view.
