Arrowhead (<i>Yanone</i>)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a spear with a long shaft and a pointed metal tip. The spearhead, titled "Arrowhead (Yanone)" by the artist, has a slender, elongated shape with a sharp point. The spearhead is silver-colored and features a narrow, tapering form with a small collar where it meets the shaft. The spearhead's shape is symmetrical, with two sharp edges that converge to form the point. The background of the image is solid black, providing a stark contrast to the metallic sheen of the spearhead.
