Boar Spear

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Boar Spear by artist is a white metal spearhead with a pointed tip and a long, narrow, tapered shape, resembling a leaf. The spearhead exhibits signs of wear and tear, with small brown spots and markings scattered across its surface. A small symbol or marking is visible on the center of the spearhead. The spearhead is attached to a dark brown handle, wrapped with dark brown leather strips crisscrossed around it and secured with small gold-colored metal pieces. The background of the image is a plain light gray color.
