Halberd, Brocade Robe and Seal
The image depicts a halberd with a gray curved blade and a red and gold handle adorned with a red tassel. The halberd is laid diagonally across a green brocaded robe with a pattern of dragons and other designs; the robe is folded and has a red and white wave pattern on its lining. Under and around the robe are folded pieces of fabric with a red and white wave pattern. To the right of the halberd is a red seal with Japanese writing on a gray stone; the seal has a dark object resembling a plant or smoke beside it. The background of the image is beige with Japanese writing on the left side. The overall design and color scheme suggest that the image is a traditional Japanese artwork. The title of the artwork is "Halberd, Brocade Robe and Seal".
