Spear

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows Spear by Donald Lipski. The spear has a long, thin, pointed metal tip. The tip tapers to a sharp point at the top. Below the tip, there is a slightly thicker section with a textured surface. A narrower section follows, then a short, thicker section with a decorative shape. Another narrow section is below, then a short, thicker section. The handle appears to be made of wood or another material and is mostly outside the frame. The background is a plain gray color.
