Spearhead

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Spearhead by Maji Maji. Long, thin spear with a black wooden handle. The handle has two copper-colored metal bands around it, one thicker and closer to the spearhead than the other. The spearhead is long and silver, with a wavy edge. A small piece of white tape with writing on it is stuck to the handle near the spearhead. The background is a plain white surface.
