Saber and Dart with Scabbard

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The scabbard is long and narrow, made of black material. The top and bottom have silver-colored metal decorative pieces. The top piece features an intricate design with a small knob at the very top; it is split into two parts with a gap at the top. There are two silver-colored metal bands around the scabbard, one near the top and one near the bottom. The background of the image is light gray. The scabbard is associated with "Saber and Dart" by an unspecified artist.
