Tulwar (Punjabi Hilt)

The image displays traditional sword with curved blades, laid on a white marble floor. On the left is a sword with a plain but elegant guard and a steel blade, possessing a slight curvature typical of sabers used in cavalry or military scenarios from past centuries. Its hilt is encased in a dark material, which might be wood or leather, providing a firm grip. The sheath on the right features a dark maroon scabbard, possibly made of leather or a synthetic material, designed to protect the blade and enhance safety when not in use. This sword's handle includes a protective guard that curves towards the blade, typical of designs intended to protect the hand during combat. Both pieces reflect historical weapon designs, likely replicas or antiques, and evoke a sense of historical military tradition and craftsmanship. They are oriented in parallel, suggesting a deliberate placement for display or examination.
