Hafted Ax

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Hafted Ax by artist unknown, depicts a green metal object with a wide top tapering to a point at the bottom. The object has a rough texture on the top edge. The top is shaped like a wide "U" with two protrusions on each side. The object appears to be made of a corroded metal with a rough, uneven surface. A portion of the bottom of the object appears to be rusted and separated. The background of the image is a plain light gray color.
