The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a bronze-colored metal object with a flared end and a narrower end. The flared end is semi-circular. The narrower end is more rectangular and appears to be broken. The object has a chevron pattern etched into its surface, which runs lengthwise along the center. The object has a dark patina and appears to have wear and tear on its surface. The background of the image is light blue-gray. The object titled "Flanged Ax" and associated with the artist is displayed against the light blue-gray background.
