Two edged sword. The blade has been broken diagonally at the top leaving a small diamond of metal at the top, it is also damaged midway along its length. This fissure is visible on both sides of the blade and shows the core of the blade on one, the cutting edges of both sides are therefore missing. There is some damage other than this to the edges of the blade and its tip is missing. Along one face of the blade there are areas of raised orange coloured nodules, on the other side of the blade these are not so prominent. On both sides of the cutting edges however there is a white discolouration.
