Cast copper alloy miniature sword.The sword is flat, undecorated and made from one piece of copper alloy. The blade is slender, elongated and has a slightly damaged tip. The handle is straight and the sides are folded inwards on the reverse. It is not clear whether the folds were once rounded allowing the sword to be mounted on something, or whether they were always folded flat. The pommel is flat with a rounded top.
