The sword Glaive has a long, narrow blade with a sharp point. The blade is silver with a dark patina near the tip and a gold-colored hilt. The hilt features a dragon design in gold with a round emblem near the base of the blade. A crossguard with a dragon-shaped quillon extends from the hilt. The pommel is not visible. The handle appears to be made of dark material, possibly wood or metal, with gold-colored designs. The background is a light blue wall with a horizontal line and two other objects partially visible on either side of the sword.
