Halberd-Partisan

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Halberd-Partisan by artist is a long, pointed metal weapon head. The head is leaf-shaped with a central ridge running down its length. Two curved projections extend from the bottom of the head, one on each side, resembling claws. A small section of the weapon's shaft is visible at the bottom, featuring a metal band with a circular rivet. The metal has a weathered appearance with visible spots and marks. The background is a solid gray color.
