The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Halberd by artist not specified. The image shows a close-up of a silver-colored metal weapon head. The weapon head has a long, pointed top. There is a curved cutting edge on the left side. On the right side, there is a beak-shaped projection. The metal appears weathered with visible scratches and marks. The background is a solid light gray color. The weapon head is positioned vertically, with the point facing upwards. The bottom of the weapon head is not visible, suggesting it is attached to a long handle. The overall shape of the weapon head resembles a halberd.
