Harpoon head by unknown artist. The image shows a tan-colored, elongated, pointed object with a tapered end and a slightly wider middle section. The object has a few dark spots and marks on its surface. There are two lines of black writing or symbols on the object, one on either side of the middle. The line on the left is red. The object is centered in the image and casts a slight shadow on the light gray background.
