Partisan

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a medieval-style weapon, Partisan by an unknown artist. The blade is long and narrow with a tapered point, made of silver-colored metal with visible scratches and wear. The crossguard is gold-colored with an ornate design, featuring curved ends and a central band with a floral pattern. The handle appears to be made of wood, wrapped in gold-colored metal with bands around it. The background is a solid light gray color.
