Sword

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts "Sword" by an unknown artist. The object is a bronze-colored, long and thin artifact with a pointed tip. It has a flat, short section at the top, which serves as a guard. The handle is formed by two long, thin, looped pieces of metal that connect to a circular loop at the top. The surface of the object is weathered and covered in green and brown patina. The object is centered in the image against a gradient background that transitions from black at the top to gray at the bottom.
