Rapier

Arnolt Windhvfel

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Rapier by Arnolt Windhvfel features a long, narrow, silver-colored metal blade. The hilt is made of metal and has a rounded knob at the top, with a short grip below. A circular guard is positioned below the grip, and a crossguard extends out to the sides with decorative ends. A curved metal quillon extends from the left side of the hilt, connecting to the crossguard. The background of the image is a solid gray color.
