The image shows a spear with a silver-colored metal point. The spearhead is long and narrow, tapering to a point at the top. It has a long, thin neck where it meets the handle. The spearhead has a textured surface with some darker spots and lines. A small portion of the handle is visible, appearing to be made of wood with a metal band around it. The background is a plain light gray color. The title of the image is "Spear" by an unknown artist.
