Description

The long, leaf-shaped blade tapers to a point at the top and narrows to a short tang at the bottom. Its surface is rough and crusted with corrosion, with a faint central ridge visible. The object is set against a pale grey card, and a handwritten number label sits at the lower left of the mount.
