Description

A long bronze blade stands upright in the frame, tapering to a point at the top and widening to a corroded base at the bottom. A raised central ridge runs along its length, and the surface is darkened and pitted, with flaking corrosion along the left edge. It is set on a pale card with handwritten marks along the bottom edge.
