Smallsword

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Smallsword by Jean-Baptiste Drouet. The hilt is made of metal, featuring a bulbous top with engravings. Below the top, a cylindrical section is wrapped in thin, coiled metal wire. A curved metal quillon extends from the hilt to the left. The guard is intricately designed with curved shapes and engravings. The blade is partially visible, appearing to be long and slender. The background is gray.
