"Serpentine Sacrificial Blade" This Middle Eastern masterpiece has a highly decorative hilt and handle cast in a silvery steel. The handle depicts a scaly snake motif with twin snakes wrapping the hilt and pommels. The pommel is bejeweled with a single amethyst color stone on each side, that draws attention and really makes this piece stand out. The slim blade of this dual-edged sword measures approximately 15 1/2 inches with a single groove that goes down the length of the blade. The overall length of the sword is approximately 22 1/8" long. The sword comes with a nice leather-style sheath for protection, that can be hung from a belt.
