The image shows a sword with a scabbard, titled "Sword with Scabbard". The sword has a dark brown, almost black, curved blade resembling an axe head, attached to a long handle. The handle is primarily made of wood and appears worn. It features a reddish-brown cord wrapped around it in two places. The scabbard matches the color of the handle and also appears worn. A small red object is visible near the top of the handle. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
