Single-Edged Knife (Scramasax)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Single-Edged Knife (Scramasax) by unknown artist is an old, rusty knife with a long, narrow blade and a short handle. The blade is dark brown and gold with a rough texture, and the handle is similarly colored with a mushroom-shaped top. A gold-colored band encircles the base of the handle. The knife is positioned vertically, with its tip pointing downwards. The background is a plain gray color.
