DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: The steel blade is straight and double edged, narrowing to a rounded the point. It is quite flexible, and is from a European broadsword. The hilt comprises a figure-8 guard, angled across the centre, with cusped wings and long plain sword-shaped reinforces, attached by three rivets with iron rosette washers. Round the junction of the wings and reinforces is a band of iron. The thin grip swells to a central moulding and there is a small, deep, dish pommel lacking its dome. The hilt is covered with black paint, the blade polished bright and pitted from earlier corrosion.
At either side of the blade is the outline of part of an animal.
