Cleveland Museum of Art

The Single-Edged Knife (Scramasax) has a long, narrow blade made of dark metal with a rough surface, exhibiting signs of heavy rust and corrosion. The blade tapers to a point at the tip. The hilt is adorned with green and gold metalwork. A green metal pommel sits atop the hilt, followed by a gold band. Further down, there is another gold band encircling the hilt, featuring a pattern. A gold crossguard extends from the hilt, connecting to the blade. The background is dark gray, with a shadow cast to the left.
