Spear

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The artwork, "Spear" by Donald Lipski, shows a long, narrow, pointed metal object with a worn and weathered appearance. The object has a tapered shape, with a sharp tip at the top. A small, dark-colored mark is visible at the very tip. The metal surface exhibits scratches and discoloration, with lighter and darker patches. A short, decorative metal section connects the metal object to a handle. The handle features a dark-colored material, possibly wood, wrapped with a metallic material exhibiting a pattern. The background is a solid light gray color.
