Crossbow
Crossbow by Francesco Fioravanti: A crossbow lying on a reflective surface. The stock is made metal. The thumbhole, trigger, and bolt groove are lined with gold. The front and rear of the stock are decorated with circles. The limbs are made of black metal and lie on top of the stock. They are positioned horizontally. A bolt rests underneath it. The background fades from dark grey to white. A shadow is cast diagonally across to the bottom left.
