Rapier

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Rapier by an unknown artist depicts a long, slender sword with a pointed tip. The sword's blade is long and narrow, tapering to a point at the end. The hilt consists of a grip wrapped in dark material, possibly leather or wire, and features a small, rounded pommel at the top. Two curved metal bands form a protective guard around the hand, connecting to a straight crossguard with a slight upward curve at the ends. The background is a gradient transitioning from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
