Halberd

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a medieval halberd. The halberd has a long metal shaft with a dark brown wooden handle visible at the bottom. The head of the halberd has three main parts: - A top spike which is long and thin with a pointed tip and decorative cutouts of circles and crescent shapes. - A lower left curved axe-like part with a pointed tip, decorated with a cross and diamond shapes cut out. - A lower right curved axe-like symmetrical part with a pointed tip, decorated with a cross and diamond shapes cut out. The background of the image is a solid light gray color. The halberd appears to be made by an unknown artist.
