Halberd

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows the "Halberd" by an unknown artist. The image shows a medieval weapon with a long wooden handle. The handle is dark brown with some red tones. It has a large metal piece attached to the top, featuring a pointed top and a wide, flat bottom. A smaller metal spike protrudes from the side of the handle, just below the large metal piece. The metal components are predominantly white with some visible signs of wear and tear. The background of the image is a plain light grey color.
