War Hammer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

War Hammer by artist is a medieval weapon with a long wooden handle. The handle is brown with six metal rivets down its length. At the top, the metal head consists of a central spike with a curved blade on one side and a flanged axe-like head on the other. The metal parts have a weathered appearance, and there are yellow accents on the blade and flanged head. The background is plain gray.
