The image shows a sword with a silver-colored blade and a dark-colored hilt. The hilt features a pommel at the top resembling a crown; the pommel has a short, rounded finial. The hilt grip is wrapped in a twisted rope-like design and features two large oval-shaped quillons on either side. The quillons each have a decorative circle at their ends. The blade appears weathered with some darker marks and spots. The background of the image is a solid gray color. The title of the image is "Sword", presumably by an unknown artist.
