Partisan

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sword, titled "Partisan" and created by an unknown artist, features a long, triangular blade with a pointed tip. The blade is silver with visible signs of wear, including small dark spots and a darker line running down the center. The bottom section of the blade displays an intricate gold design. A silver metal piece with curved protrusions extends from the blade, connecting it to the handle. The handle appears to have a dark-colored base and a silver top adorned with decorative elements. The sword is set against a light gray background.
