Sword by unknown artist. The object is a single-edged metal blade with a pointed tip. The blade is long and narrow, appearing to be made of bronze or copper with a dark brown patina and visible signs of wear and tear. The hilt is made of a darker metal, possibly bronze or copper, with a flared pommel and a short, narrow grip. The guard is small and curved, with a slight protrusion on either side. The background of the image is white.
