A vertical sword features a slightly curved, mottled steel blade with parallel grooves. At the hilt, a metal shell guard fans outward, extending into a thin knuckle bow that arcs to the pommel. A small metal spiral curls from the guard's opposite side. The dark wood handle is topped by a brass cap. The blade's weathered surface tapers to a rounded tip against a gradient gray background.
