Four historic bladed weapons, likely sabers or daggers, are displayed vertically against a plain white wall, presumably within a museum or exhibition in the city of Teteven, Bulgaria. The display is observed through a reflective glass panel. No people are present. From left to right: 1. The leftmost item is a sheathed weapon. Its handle is a light-colored material, possibly bone or ivory, showing small dark dots consistent with pinning or natural markings. It features a prominent, curved pommel. The top section of the dark scabbard, likely velvet or leather, is encased by an ornate silver-colored metal fitting with intricate floral and scrollwork, centered by a cross or star design. A similar, smaller fitting adorns the bottom of the scabbard. 2. The second item is an unsheathed, curved-blade weapon. Its dark handle, possibly wood or horn, terminates in a distinctive carved, beak-like pommel. A silver-colored metal ferrule separates the handle from the blade. The dark metal blade exhibits extensive silver-colored inlay or engraving along its spine, featuring repeating circular and crescent motifs. 3. The third item is another unsheathed, curved-blade weapon. It has a dark handle, likely wood, with a similar beak-like pommel, secured by small metal pins. The dark metal blade is adorned with elaborate gold-colored inlay or engraving along its spine, depicting intricate scrolling patterns. 4. The rightmost item is an unsheathed, simpler bladed weapon with a dark, unadorned handle. It also features a beak-like pommel, secured by pins, and appears to have some adhesive or material remnants near the hilt. The dark metal blade is relatively straight or subtly curved and lacks significant ornamentation. Each unsheathed weapon is suspended by one or two small, thin metal hooks or pins embedded in the wall, supporting the blade or handle.
