Spear with Sheath

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Spear with Sheath by an unknown artist depicts a spear with a long, narrow, pointed metal tip that appears to be made of bronze or silver with a decorative handle. The spearhead is long and slender, with a slight curve and a pointed tip. It has a decorative metal collar at the base of the blade. The handle is long and thin with an ornate design. To the right of the spear is a dark brown wooden sheath with a narrow top and a wider bottom. The sheath has a small metal band around the bottom and a decorative design on the middle. The background is a plain gray color.
