The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Halberd by an unknown artist. Silver-colored metal pole weapon. The head of the weapon is composed of a long, thin pointed spike in the center. On either side of the spike are two curved blades, one resembling a sickle or a hook. The curved blades have a distinctive shape with a concave edge and a pointed tip. The blades have cut-out sections in a rough skull-like shape. The pole is partially visible, with a metal band around it near the base of the head. The background is a plain light gray color.
