Halberd by an unknown artist. The image shows a medieval weapon with a long, thin metal shaft. The shaft is narrow and tapering, with a pointed tip. A wide, flat metal piece is attached to the bottom of the shaft. The flat piece has two pointed ends, one on each side, resembling a wing or a fork. The left side of the flat piece has an etched design featuring lines and a cross. The right side of the flat piece has a serrated edge. A small cross is engraved on the shaft, near the flat piece. The metal is gray and has a weathered appearance. The background is a plain light grey color.
