Wide, curved, single-and false-edged blade made of damask, with groove at the center. Flat forte, "T"-shaped back with gold decorations (missing parts), with thin cannelure and floral carvings. Three cartouches on the right side, at the base, featuring gold-inlaid Arabic inscriptions on a dark background. A wide band on the same side with writing on the central segment of the blade, gold ornaments at the girdle. Another cartouche on the opposite side with an Arabic inscription on a dark background on the other side, also with gold framed decorations. Hilt with cross-shaped, richly engraved silver quillon and with remains of gilding, hallmarked langets, straight quillons with acorn-shaped ends. Handle with pommel curved on one side, completely covered with silver inlay and richly engraved in bas relief with floral motifs and decorations resembling the specular monogram "C", intertwined, on a granulated background. The pommel featuring a silver "flower" decorated with rubies, turquoises and a green stone on both sides. A similar cabochon decoration also on the front quillon block (probably missing the upper appendix; this decoration is completely missing on the back of the quillon). Wooden scabbard completely covered with silver inlay decorated en suite, two bands with suspension ring, decorated with a similar "flower". Inscriptions read: "ma shaía allah" (Whatever God wills), "wa-ma tawfiqi illa billah" (And I have no success but through God), "ya fattah ya razzaq" (O Granter of Success! O Sustainer!).
