DescriptionSlightly curved single edged sword with no fullers, and a rudimentary false edge. The hilt of the sword is cast brass and features three branches on the obverse side which form the guard, and then converge at the base of the knuckle bow.
The pommel is of the Phrygian helmet pattern, with a rivet at the base of it to secure the tang of the blade. The handle is wood covered in leather and wrapped with steel wire.
The sword is unmarked and has no designs or patterns at all.
