It is decorated at the back with a series of punched crescents and an incised line. It has a short ricasso and a small, facetted block decorated at the back with Xs in double incised lines, and inlaid silver stripes on the broad tang, visible above and below the grip for half its length. The hilt has a pistol grip of silver alloy, attached with three silver rivets along the grip and another, with large ornate washers, at the pommel. The tang button has a similar but smaller washer. The scabbard is of wood, with silver alloy throat and chape, and copper alloy bands down front and rear joints and round the middle. At the end is an onion-shaped finial filed into lobes. There are applied bands punched with rows of fine dots, at the top of the chape and three on the throat. At the top front of the throat is a silver hook, and at the outside centre is a polyhedral knop with a short section of heavy twisted silver chain, joined by a silver bell with pendant corals on silver chains, to two longer sections of finer chain with a half moon at the end with a set of five implements (tweezers, a spike, an iron file and two spatulate ear-wax removers).
