The hilt features a brown handle with white rectangular inlays near the base and a metal quillon with a gold-colored interior. The scabbard is black with a brown cap on the top and a decorative brown cover with golden floral patterns. Two silver rings are attached to the scabbard. The scabbard has a white band and lies on a light gray surface.
