Description

An ink drawing on a card mount shows a leaf-shaped blade with a pointed tip and a long, narrow tapering tang at the bottom. The outline is heavy black and the interior is filled with fine stippled dots, denser towards the edges. Above it, in a separate panel, a solid black lens-shaped mark is drawn, and a handwritten number is written in pen beside the lower part.
