The blade is silver with a rosie gold undertone and a mirror finish, which catches and reflects light. The base of the blade, just above the crosspiece, has a rising sun etched in gold with trim of red gold and rose gold to display hues of golden yellows, fiery reds, golden pinks and flaming oranges. The handle is dull gold with black antiquing in the grooves, nooks and crannies. The crosspiece is studded with a circle of dozens of brilliant yellow topaz gems surrounded by golden petals etched out of the gold crossbar, with the overall design forming the shape of an aster flower. The Aster flower pattern is repeated on both sides. The pommel is a large ruby carved in the shape of a newly opened red rose.
