There is no acrylic, other than a flat horizontal piece the entire thing is sitting on.

On the left is a rectangular piece of metal, standing on its edge, out of which has been cut the shape of a blade.

On the right is a rectangular piece of wood, standing on its edge, out of which has been cut the shape of the haft.

Between the piece of metal and the piece of wood is the metal ring, seeming to connect these shapes cut out of the pieces of metal and wood.

Does this at all help? I think it might be suffering from a bit of the vase-face/Rubin Vase effect:
