Partisan

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows the blade of a spear or harpoon titled "Partisan" by an unknown artist. The blade is long and narrow, tapering to a point at the top. It is made of metal. The blade has a central ridge running down its length. There are three sharp, curved prongs protruding from the blade, one at the bottom center and one on either side, roughly one-third of the way up from the bottom. The prongs are symmetrical. The background of the image is a plain light gray color.
