Sheath Knife
The image shows the object titled "Sheath Knife" by an unknown artist. The object is a knife sheath in two pieces, with a light color and a cylindrical shape. The sheath is divided into sections, with the left piece being longer than the right. The surface features a pattern of cut-out shapes, including flowers and leaves. The two pieces are separated by a small gap and a thin metal band with illegible text. The background of the image is solid black. A small white label at the bottom right reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM".
