Partisan

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a close-up view of a dagger or short sword with an ornate handle and guard. The blade is long and pointed, with a sharp tip and straight edges. The guard is silver with an engraved design featuring a shield with a cross in the center, flanked by two symmetrical curved sections. The handle appears to be made of dark metal, possibly steel or iron, with a narrow neck and a small decorative band near the base of the blade. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The title of the image is "Partisan" and the artist is unknown.
