Knife

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a knife with a curved, light-brown handle made from what appears to be an animal horn. The handle is smooth and tapered, with a darker tip and a few darker spots near the base. A gold-colored metal band encircles the base of the handle where it meets the blade. The blade is made of metal, possibly steel or iron, and has a curved shape that matches the curve of the handle. The blade is grayish in color with darker spots and patches of discoloration. The background of the image is a plain white surface. Knife by Artist.
