Military Fork

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long-handled weapon with a long, thin, pointed metal piece and two curved prongs extending from the bottom. The metal piece is long and narrow, tapering to a point at the top. Two curved prongs protrude from the bottom, resembling a fork. The metal is silver-colored and appears to be made of metal. The handle is partially visible, appearing to be made of the same material as the prongs and point. The background is a plain light gray color. The title of the image is "Military Fork".
