Spear

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a spear with a white, carved tip and a brass-colored metal collar. The tip is carved from one piece of bone or ivory, resembling a leaf or feather with a rounded point. The tip has a long, narrow shape with several parallel lines carved into it, and there are some darker spots on its surface. The tip is attached to a brass-colored metal collar with a decorative design featuring raised rings around it. The handle appears to be made of dark wood. The background of the image is a plain light gray color. The spear is titled "Spear" and created by the artist "Oceanic".
