Hunting Sword (Shamshir Shikargar) with Modern Scabbard

Curved sword with a long, single-edged blade that tapers to a point. The blade is etched with a pattern. The hilt is gold-colored metal with a crossguard and a pommel that curls outward, forming a loop on either side. The grip is not visible. The sword is lying on its side with the hilt to the left. The scabbard is not visible, but it is likely made of modern materials given the description. The background is gray with a slight shadow underneath the sword.
