Small Sword for a Boy

Cleveland Museum of Art

Small Sword for a Boy, by an unknown artist. The sword has a long, slender blade with a straight edge and a pointed tip. The blade appears to be made of metal, likely steel, and has an engraved design along its length. The hilt is made of metal, with a rounded pommel at the top and a curved guard that extends to form a protective bar over the finger grip. The grip itself is wrapped in cord or wire, providing a secure hold. The sword's overall design suggests it is a small sword, possibly a toy or a miniature version of a full-sized sword, suitable for a boy. The background of the image is a gradient of dark to light gray.
