Spontoon

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts the "Spontoon" by an unknown artist. The object is an elongated, pointed silver dagger with a brown tassel on the bottom. The pointed top tapers to a narrow point. The silver object has a crown at the top. Below the crown is a filigree design. In the center, a building scene within a circle reads "AMSTER D AM". The bottom features a decorative border with a pattern of four small diamonds above the tassel. The background of the image is a solid light gray color.
