The image is of a medieval knightly sword, also known as an arming sword, dating from the 12th to 14th centuries. It has a straight double-edged blade suited for both cutting and thrusting. The sword features a cruciform (cross-shaped) hilt with a straight crossguard and a pommel at the top of the grip, which is typically shaped to secure the hand upon the hilt. The grip looks to be worn, possibly made of wood, and is designed to be held with one hand. The metallic parts of the sword appear to be in good condition with some patina from age. The sword is situated against a plain, neutral background that contrasts with its color and form, providing clear visibility of the weapon.

This appears to be a spindle, which is a tool used in spinning fibers into thread or yarn. It's made of wood and has a characteristic design with a long, straight shaft and a disc-shaped whorl (the flat, circular part) positioned near the top.
