Antennae Sword

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sculpture 'Antennae Sword' by artist Jaume Plansa features a dark green, weathered metal figure. The sculpture is tall and slender with a narrow, elongated body. It has no head or limbs but extends into two straight, short protrusions at the top resembling antennae, from which it gets its name. The piece stands on a small square base.
