Spear

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a spear with a metal point and wooden shaft. The spear point appears to be made of weathered metal with visible signs of wear and tear. The point is long, narrow, and triangular with a dark edge; it tapers to a point at the tip. Below the point is a short metal section that appears to be forged as part of the point. The shaft below is made of wood and is wrapped with twisted cord or twine near the top. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The title of the image is "Spear".
