The image shows the crossguard and blade of a sword. The sword's blade is long and narrow, tapering to a point, centered and extending vertically. The crossguard has two quillons that extend outwards on either side, each with a slight curve upwards at the end. The quillons are roughly textured and have a weathered appearance. The background is a solid light gray color. The image is titled "Korseke" and is by an artist whose name is not specified.
