Spear

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a metal spear with a wavy, silver blade. The blade is long and thin, with a pointed tip. The blade has a distinctive wavy shape, with several curved sections. The base of the blade is attached to a metal piece that is wider than the blade. Below this piece, a cylindrical handle extends downward. The background of the image is a solid light gray color. The spear appears to be labeled as "Spear" and attributed to an artist.
