Four Lance Heads for the Tournament

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Four Lance Heads for the Tournament by Peter von Augsburg Metal object with a tapered, conical base that flares slightly at the bottom, tapering to a smaller circumference at the top. The object is made of gray metal with a weathered and pitted surface. Four long, curved prongs extend from the top, resembling a crown or a flower. A small circular hole is visible on the lower part of the base. The object is symmetrical, with a central vertical axis. The background is a plain gray color, with a subtle shadow cast by the object.
