The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sword has a long, slender blade with an ornate gold hilt. The hilt features a curved handle with a rounded pommel and a small knob at the end. A guard is present near the base of the blade. The blade itself is long and thin, with intricate engravings along its length. A scabbard is not visible in this image. The background of the image is gray. The sword appears to be a ceremonial or presentation piece, given its ornate design.
