Spontoon

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a weapon titled "Spontoon" by an unidentified artist. The weapon has a long, narrow, pointed metal head. The metal head is silver-colored with an engraved design that covers most of its surface. The design features intricate patterns. The head tapers to a point at the top. A wooden handle is partially visible at the bottom of the image, with a silver-colored metal band or ferrule near the top of the handle where it meets the metal head. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
