Spear (Sang)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts Spear (Sang) by Sang. The spear has a long, thin, pointed metal shaft. The shaft tapers from a thicker base to a sharp point at the top. A short section at the bottom of the shaft has a decorative pattern. The bottom section of the shaft appears to be slightly thicker. The background is a plain gray color with a subtle vignette effect, darker at the corners.
