The guard is gold and rectangular in shape with a horizontal bar across the middle and two long vertical bars on either side that extend upwards. The handle is not visible. The sheath is long and narrow, made of brown material, possibly leather, with a gold decorative piece at the top and a smaller one at the bottom. The sheath is lying on its side to the left of the dagger. The background is a plain light gray color. The dagger and sheath are titled "Dagger (Katar) with Sheath".
