Ceremonial blade (fragment)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Ceremonial blade (fragment) by an unknown artist. The image shows a black and white close-up photograph of a broken stone or metal object. The object is mostly rectangular but has several broken edges. The top surface appears rough and textured with many small pits. The bottom edge is flat and smooth. A quarter of the object's width from the bottom, there is a band of solid black color. The object takes up most of the image and is set against a plain white background.
