Sword

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sword, by an unknown artist, is a vertically oriented, long and thin, dark-colored metal object with a rough texture. The sword has a flat, mushroom-shaped pommel at the top. A short, thin crossguard protrudes on either side, below the pommel. The blade is long and narrow with a pointed tip. The surface of the sword appears to be corroded or rusted. The background is a plain light gray color.
