Knife with Sheath

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a knife with a sheath. The knife has a curved, light-brown wooden handle with a carved end resembling an animal head; the sheath is also made of light-brown wood. The sheath is cylindrical with a decorative base and a carved end. The knife blade is made of silver-colored metal, appears weathered with spots of discoloration, and is long and narrow with a sharp tip. The sheath and knife are positioned side-by-side; the sheath is on the left and the knife is on the right. The background of the image is solid light gray.
