The peace of art that I pick is the Knife is at Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's this knife Timeline of Art History(http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/49.136.9), this knife was found in non-Chinese. I like this knife because it reminds me when i use to live in my country. In other words we had similar knife just like this. However this knife is very old and is now a peace of art and only in the metropolitan museum of Arts has it. in the Artical it says "The handle and blade of this knife are cast as a single piece, topped by a ram's head with powerful curving horns"
