Linstock

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Linstock by artist is a close-up view of a weapon with a long, thin, triangular metal blade. The blade is silver-colored and etched with designs. It has a pointed tip and a decorative base that attaches to a handle. The handle has a gold-colored metal piece at the top with two curved protrusions on either side, each shaped like a dragon's head. The dragons have their mouths open and appear to be facing outward. The handle itself is black with a gold-colored metal band at the top. The background of the image is a solid light gray color.
