The image depicts "Partisan" by an unknown artist. The spear has a long, pointed metal blade with a sharp tip. The upper half of the blade appears shiny and silver. The lower half of the blade has a rough texture with a brownish hue and curved protrusions on either side near the bottom. The handle is partially shown, featuring a brown wooden section at the bottom and a white and gold metal section at the top where it meets the blade. The background is a plain gray color.
