DESCRIPTIVE DATA

object type: The steel blade is short, straight, broad, double edged with a medial rib issuing from a lotus bud at the forte, and swelling to a reinforced point. The hilt is formed by two straight slightly concave arms made in one with the blade, joined by two bars, faceted and swelling to their centres, forming the grip. All the hilt elements are decorated in gold koftgari with a fine floral diaper. The steel of the blade is cracking in places and pitted round the edges. The scabbard (A) is of thin rather damaged wood, covered with modern black velvet crudely sewn up the inside, with a cast pierced chape of copper alloy.
