Pike

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a close-up of a silver-colored metal object titled "Pike" by an unknown artist. The object has a long, narrow, pointed tip. The tip is flat on both sides and slightly wider at the base. The base of the tip is connected to a short, ornate section with a decorative middle section and two raised rings near the bottom. The bottom of the object is not shown, but appears to have a black section. The background of the image is a plain light gray color.
