An ornate short sword, featuring a polished golden hilt and a distinct crossguard adorned with intricate, swirling engravings. The grip is wrapped in dark, textured leather with subtle ridging, providing a secure hold. A vibrant teal gemstone is precisely set into both the pommel and the center of the crossguard, adding a focal point. The sharp, double-edged blade exhibits a smooth, reflective silver-like steel along its core, flanked by shimmering golden panels with delicate etched patterns, tapering to a finely honed, lethal point.
