Spear

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a spear with a long, triangular metal point that tapers to a sharp tip. The point is silver and gray with a darker line down the middle. A short section of gray metal shaft connects the point to a thicker section wrapped in gold-colored metal. The gold wrapping features ornate details and is separated into sections by ridges. The lower section of the shaft is dark brown or black. The background is a plain light grey color. The artist is unknown but this piece is known as Spear.
