The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a knife. The knife is long and thin with a pointed tip. The blade appears to be made of metal. The edge of the blade on the right side has a distinct curved bevel. The bevel on the left side appears less defined. There are visible scratches on the surface of the blade. The handle is not visible. The background is a light gray color. The numbers "260" and possibly some additional markings are etched into the blade near the left end. The image is by the artist titled "Knife".
