Partisan

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Silver-colored metal object with pointed tip and long, thin handle. The object is symmetrical and flat with straight edges leading to a tapered point. It is widest near the middle with a more narrow neck that leads to a thin handle. Three small clusters of dots are stamped into the surface. The background is a plain gray color. The object appears to be titled "Partisan" by an unknown artist.
