Banner with Shaft

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a close-up of a weapon. The weapon features a long, thin, pointed metal piece with a central groove running down its length, resembling a spearhead. The spearhead is silver in color and exhibits a weathered appearance. A circular design with lines radiating from the center is visible at the base of the spearhead. The handle, partially visible, appears to be made of wood and is light brown in color. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The image appears to be a banner with shaft by an unknown artist.
