Halberd

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a close-up of a "Halberd" by an artist not specified. The weapon features a long, pointed blade with a narrow, elongated shape and a sharp tip. A distinctive crossguard extends from the base of the blade, forming a T-shape with two pointed extensions on either side. The blade is silver in color with a weathered appearance and small dark spots scattered across its surface. A series of small holes are visible on the left side of the blade, arranged in a curved line. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
