Knife with Sheath

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a knife with a sheath. The sheath is on the left; it is long and thin, made of metal, with a flared opening at the top. The sheath exhibits signs of wear, with visible tarnish and discoloration. The knife is on the right; it features a curved handle and a long, thin blade with a pointed tip. The blade appears to have a distinctive pattern or texture, resembling wood grain. The knife's handle and the base of the blade show a silver-colored metal; a few tarnished spots are visible. The background of the image is a plain light gray color.
