Spear (Sinalawitan)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The spear, titled "Spear (Sinalawitan)" by an unknown artist, features a long, thin metal shaft with a series of triangular barbs extending outward along its length. The barbs are evenly spaced and symmetrical, with the tip of the spear tapering to a point. A cylindrical metal piece connects the shaft to a handle wrapped in brown cord or twine. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
