Partisan-Spontoon

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Partisan-Spontoon by an unknown artist shows a close-up view of a spear or pole weapon. The spearhead is long and narrow with a pointed tip. The top half of the spearhead is white or silver-colored metal. The bottom half of the spearhead and the handguard are a darker, more muted metal. The handguard has a central section with curved protrusions on either side. The handle appears to be made of dark-colored wood. The background is a plain light gray color.
