Two-Handed Sword with Flamboyant Blade

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two-Handed Sword with Flamboyant Blade: The sword has a long, slender blade with a wavy edge. The blade is silver-colored and appears to be made of metal. It tapers to a point at the tip. The crossguard is silver-colored and has a distinctive curved shape, with two quillons that curve towards the blade. The quillons have a decorative curl at the end. The hilt is dark-colored, possibly black or dark brown, and appears to be made of metal. It has a pommel at the base. The sword's overall shape and design suggest that it is a type of two-handed sword. The background of the image is a gradient of gray, with the sword centered in the frame.
