Spear

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a spear with a long, narrow, pointed metal head. The spearhead is made of bronze or brass and has a dark brown patina. It is shaped like a long, thin triangle with a rounded point at the top. The spearhead has a long, thin, ridged section down the center, with several narrow grooves on either side. The base of the spearhead is narrower than the tip and has a short, cylindrical section that attaches to the wooden shaft. The shaft is made of wood and has a darker color than the spearhead. The background is a plain light gray color. The spear is titled "Spear" and the artist is unknown.
