Description: | Sword/sabre. The blade is a European one with a single edge and three deep fuller grooves on each side. The hilt is roughly made of wood and leather and has a one-sided pommel, now broken. Near the hilt the blade is engraved with a radiant sun, the disc having an inscription in Arabic-like characters, and also with a hand emerging from a cloud and holding a sword. The sheath is wood covered with rough leather. The chape is made of thin sheet iron but the upper mount is sheet brass, which is crudely embossed.
