The image depicts a hunting sword by Clemens Willems. The sword has a long, curved blade with a pointed tip. The blade is silver-colored with a slight curve and a central fuller. The hilt is made of dark wood with a silver-colored metal pommel and guard. The guard is a crossguard with quillons that curve towards the blade. The handle has an ornate silver-colored metal ferrule at the base. A silver-colored metal knuckle guard is attached to the hilt on the right side. The sword is displayed against a gray gradient background that is darker at the top and lighter at the center.
