Halberd

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a close-up view of a silver-colored metal weapon, specifically a halberd. The long, pointed blade is centered and extends vertically. A crossguard extends to the left and right. A long, thin rectangular section connects the blade to the crossguard and then tapers down to where a dark wooden handle would be located. The background is a plain gray wall. The artist and title of the work are "Halberd".
