Partisan

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, thin, pointed metal object, likely a dagger or sword. The object is made of a silver-colored metal and appears to be quite sharp. It is long and narrow, with a tapered point at the top and a short section at the bottom. There are several small marks or engravings on the blade. The background of the image is a plain light gray color. The object titled "Partisan" and created by an unknown artist appears to be a historical weapon. The object is centered in the image.
