Halberd

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The halberd by artist unknown shows a long, silver-colored metal spearhead with a pointed tip. The spearhead is long and slender with two slightly curved blades on either side, resembling a crescent moon shape. The curved blades are positioned at the bottom of the spearhead. A long, thin shaft extends from the bottom of the spearhead, with a dark-colored handle visible at the bottom. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
