Partisan

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The dagger "Partisan" by the artist has a long, slender blade with a pointed tip. The blade is mostly silver with a decorative bronze or gold section at the bottom. This decorative section has a pointed bottom center with curved protrusions on either side. The handle is partially visible, dark-colored and appears to be made of a material such as wood or stone. The handle is topped with a bronze or gold piece that tapers down to meet the decorative section of the blade. The background of the image is a plain light gray color.
