Axe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows an axe with a wooden handle and a metal head. The axe head is dark gray with a slight sheen, and has a curved blade with a pointed top. The blade is wider at the bottom than at the top. There are two thin lines etched into the metal on either side of the handle. The handle is made of wood and has a small gold piece at the top where it meets the axe head. The background is a plain gray color. The axe is titled "Axe" by an unknown artist.
