At the forte is a slight ricasso, with a small riveted langet at the centre. The hilt is also of steel, with a beaked pommel carved as a stylised parrot’s head with eyes and a detailed beak, a plain tubular grip, slightly curved, and a stepped section at the blade with crenelations and a roped band. The blade is polished bright with areas of patination from its earlier corrosion, the hilt in untouched patinated condition, showing that it was originally decorated with floral ornament in silver koftgari
