DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: The blade is single-edged, slightly curved and widening slightly to the centre. It has a very short second edge at the tip, and a short, V-shaped fuller at the forte which runs on one side into a rather wavy incised line. The hilt is formed of a rough bone grip with a copper alloy ferrule and pommel cap, both roughly cylindrical. The scabbard is of wood lacquered black with a thickened section at the throat, one fine binding in red-lacquered cane, and two cruder bindings in plain cane. There are numerous patches of damage on the scabbard where the lacquer is rubbed off and the back cracked.
