Awl Pike (Ahlspiess)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, thin, pointed metal weapon, specifically the "Awl Pike (Ahlspiess)" by an unknown artist. The weapon is silver-colored and appears to be made of metal. It has a long, narrow blade with a pointed tip, and a short, circular base at the bottom. The base is flat and appears to be attached to a short metal piece that extends downwards, out of view. The background of the image is a plain gray wall. The weapon is centered in the image, standing upright against the wall. The overall appearance suggests a medieval or historical weapon.
