The image shows a spear with a long, thin metal point. The point is made of metal and has a rough texture. It is dark brown with lighter brown patches. The point tapers to a sharp tip. A short section of the spear's handle is visible at the bottom; it has a ribbed section near the point. The background is a plain light gray color. The artist of this spear is likely a member of the Fang people, and the title of the spear is "Spear".
