Cavalry Sword

Cleveland Museum of Art

Cavalry sword by Etienne Nicolas Lefebvre. The sword has a rounded knob on top, made of metal, likely steel. A long grip is wrapped with a cord. A protective metal bar curves outward and down from the handle. The blade is long and narrow with a central groove running along its length. Patches of white corrosion are visible on the surface. A dark grey to black gradient background surrounds the sword.
