Halberd

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a halberd. The head of the halberd is made of silver-colored metal. It has a broad, flat, axe-like blade with a pointed top. A smaller, pointed projection extends downward from the right side of the blade. The long, thin handle appears to be made of wood and is partially visible. The background is a light gray color.
