6th: # SWORD

"Zoltan’s sword, the sihil…was in a lacquered scabbard wrapped with tabby cat skins. It measured a little over three feet, but didn’t weigh much more than two pounds. The blade, which was decorated along much of its length with mysterious runes, had a bluish hue and was as sharp as a razor. The twelve inch hilt, wound around with criss-crossed strips of lizard skin, had a cylindrical brass cap instead of a spherical pommel and its cross guard was small and finely crafted."
- Andrzej Sapkowski;
Baptism of Fire. Chapter 2.

Trying my hand at some book inspired illustration today; This is Geralt unsheathing the sword given to him by Zoltan Chivay.
