Halberd of Louis XIV's Swiss Guard
The halberd has a long, narrow, wavy-edged blade with a pointed tip. A shorter, pointed spike protrudes from the bottom of the blade. The blade and spike connect to a wide, curved axe head. The halberd has a long, thin handle with a small hole near the bottom. The entire halberd, titled "Halberd of Louis XIV's Swiss Guard", by an unknown artist, appears to be made of metal with a silver or white finish and has a worn, weathered appearance. The background is a plain gray color.
