Lucerne Hammer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Lucerne Hammer by artist is a weapon with a long, thin, pointed metal blade. The blade is straight and tapers to a point at the top. A cross-shaped piece of metal extends out from the bottom of the blade. On the left side of the cross-shaped piece are cutting tools. The handle appears to be made of dark wood.
