Boar Spear

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Boar Spear by is a weapon with a long, narrow metal head. The head is silver-colored with a central ridge running down its length. Two small circular holes are on either side of the head, near the bottom. The head tapers to a point at the top and has a slight curve outward on both sides. The bottom of the head narrows and connects to a dark-colored wooden handle. The background of the image is a plain light gray color.
