Partisan

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Partisan by Luigi Marzotto features a long, narrow silver-colored metal blade with a pointed tip. The blade is attached to a decorative guard with a central stem. The guard has a cross-like shape with a stem extending upwards to connect to the blade and a narrower section below that connects to the handle. The guard is adorned with gold inlays and has two curved extensions on either side. The handle appears to have a brown or black base and is wrapped with a light-colored material, likely fabric or leather, featuring an ornate gold design. The background is a plain gray color.
