Sword from the Arsenal of Alexandria
Sword from the Arsenal of Alexandria by 16th century Italian School. The sword's blade and crossguard are made of metal with a silver-gray color. The blade appears worn with visible signs of aging and use. Arabic text is etched on the blade near the crossguard. The hilt consists of a long, thin grip covered in black material, likely wood or bone, and a round pommel made of metal. The pommel features a darker circular area in the center and is attached to the top of the grip. The background of the image is gray. The crossguard has a slight upward curve at each end. The overall appearance suggests an antique weapon.
