Description

A long, narrow sword drawn in fine stippled dots on pale paper, shown upright. The blade has a central ridge and tapers to a point at the bottom, while the hilt at the top is broader with three rivet marks. A small handwritten mark sits at the left edge, and a printed legend appears in the lower corner.
