The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow, pointed metal object. The object is silver-gray with darker areas. It has a tapered shape, with the tip being very sharp and narrow. The object is mostly flat with a slight tapering on the edges as it approaches the tip. A slight protrusion on either side appears near the bottom. A small portion of a darker area is visible below. The background is a solid light-gray color. The image appears to show a dagger or similar weapon. Artist: Jo Ann Richmond. Title: Partisan.
