Broadsword

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sword hilt and pommel titled "Broadsword" by an unidentified artist. The pommel is at the top, made of silver-colored metal with a latticework design. A small gold-colored piece protrudes from the center, with a teardrop shape and a pattern of small dots. A small metal piece extends to the right. Below the pommel, a long, thin, silver-colored metal rod extends down. The background is a solid gray color.
