Ax Head

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Ax Head by Unbekannt. The image shows a rusted, old-looking axe head. The axe head is positioned with the blade facing left. The blade is dark-colored, possibly black or gray, with visible rust and wear. A decorative gold-colored metal plate is attached to the top of the axe head. The plate has a square shape with a rounded top and is adorned with small dots around its edges. Inside the plate, there is a raised design featuring what appears to be leaves or flowers. The handle of the axe is long and curved, tapering to a point at the end. It is also made of metal and has a dark, rusted appearance with gold-colored accents. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
