The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is of a weapon titled "Runka" by an unknown artist. The weapon has a long, thin blade with a pointed tip. The blade is silver in color and appears to be made of metal. It is very long and thin. The blade has a wide, curved section at the bottom with two prongs. The prongs are symmetrical and curve outward. The handle of the weapon is partially visible and appears to be made of dark-colored wood or material with a silver metal piece at the top. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
