Dagger with a cylindrical silver blade narrowing towards the end and outlining a central wood strip. At the hilt, a perpendicular piece of wood sweeps up and to the side, slightly longer one one side. Above, a red orb is encased in a bronze-colored foliage pattern before transitioning into a hook-shaped light-amber colored handle carved with curling, organic patterns.
