The dagger's metal bolster is decorated with a floral pattern and has two small red gemstones. The sheath is long and slender, with a pointed tip. It is made of metal and features an intricate floral pattern etched into its surface. The top of the sheath has a decorative band with a repeating pattern of red, white and black.
