Halberd

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Halberd by artist unknown. The image shows a close-up view of a weapon's head. The metal is silver with darker spots. The head of the weapon has a long, pointed top. A curved cutout is on the right side. A protrusion extends to the left. The bottom of the weapon head tapers to a narrow point before expanding to a thicker piece, likely the base of the weapon head that would connect to a handle. The background is solid gray.
