Cleveland Museum of Art

Small Sword by Giovanni Battista Ferrucci. The sword has a silver pommel that is spherical and ornately decorated. The grip is wrapped in thin silver wire. The crossguard is silver with a flat, wide quillon with a slight curve towards the blade. The quillon ends are decorative and have a slight upturn. The blade is long, narrow, and flat with yellow and silver etchings running longitudinally along it. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
