Guisarme

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Guisarme by artist is a close-up view of a medieval-style spearhead. The spearhead is made of metal and appears to have a silver or gray color. It has a long, narrow, pointed tip. There are two short, pointed projections, one on each side of the spearhead, located near the tip and another pair closer to the base. The base of the spearhead appears to have a narrower section that likely connects to a wooden shaft. The background of the image is a plain light grey color.
