Hunting Sword

Cleveland Museum of Art

The "Hunting Sword" by an unknown artist depicts a long, slender sword with a slightly curved blade and a single edge. The blade is textured with a rough, etched appearance. A short quillon extends to one side of the hilt. The hilt consists of a short, tapered handle with a decorative top and a small guard. The guard features a curving design. The sword hangs vertically, with the point facing downwards. The background transitions from black at the top to light gray at the center, then back to dark gray at the bottom.
