The Metropolitan Museum of Art

"Sword and Scabbard" by artist unknown. The sword and scabbard are positioned vertically side by side. The sword is on the left and the scabbard on the right. The sword has a long, silver-gray metal blade with a slight curve and a pointed tip. The blade shows signs of wear and discoloration. The hilt is dark with a circular guard and a wrap-around handle. A loop of black cord is wrapped around the base of the hilt. The scabbard is black with decorative gold-colored metal pieces at the top and bottom. The top piece is rectangular and the bottom piece teardrop shaped. A black leather cord wraps around the top third of the scabbard. A small, round red dot is visible on the scabbard. The background is plain light grey.
