Sword and Scabbard

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sword and scabbard by an unknown artist titled "Sword and Scabbard". The sword has a long, narrow, straight silver blade with a slight curve at the tip. The sword's handle is black with a gold patterned metal cap on top and a similar gold pattern around the base of the handle. The scabbard is black with a gold patterned metal cap on top and a matching gold pattern on the bottom half. A black cord is attached to the top of the scabbard, presumably for hanging. The scabbard is lying on its side with the opening facing up. The background of the image is light gray. The sword is on the left side and the scabbard is on the right.
