The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rapier with a long, slender blade and a decorative hilt. The hilt is made of metal, possibly bronze or brass, and features an intricate design. A large, oval-shaped pommel sits atop the hilt, which has a short, wrapped grip. A long, curved quillon extends from the hilt, curving back towards the pommel. A flat, wide crossguard stretches across the hilt, with a decorative, looped shape at its center. The blade is long and narrow, tapering to a point at its tip. The background of the image is a solid dark gray color. The artist and title of the rapier is "Rapier".
