Linstock

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a close-up of a sword hilt and blade. The sword has a long, narrow blade with a pointed tip. The blade is made of metal, likely steel, and has a grayish color with visible signs of wear and tear. The hilt is made of metal and has two curved arms that protrude from the center. The arms are shaped like hooks and have small cylindrical openings at the ends. The grip of the sword is partially visible at the bottom and appears to be made of dark-colored wood or another material. The background of the image is a plain off-white color. The title of the image is "Linstock".
