Partisan

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Partisan by unknown artist. The image shows a large, single-edged sword with a long, narrow blade. The blade is silver with visible signs of wear and tear. The blade's tip is pointed. The crossguard is composed of two curved, outward-facing quillons. The quillons are silver and have a decorative design. The crossguard connects to the blade at its base through a central, slightly raised section. A short section of the sword's hilt is visible; its color is dark.
