Practice Post #5 - Citing Other Sources

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"

  3. The knife is very interesting, particularly the figure of the ram at the top, and the fact that it is all from one piece of metal.
