I believe the answer is:

undrawn

'sheathed' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'not pictured' is the wordplay.
'not' becomes 'un' (prefix meaning 'not').
'pictured' becomes 'drawn' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'un'+'drawn'='UNDRAWN'

'as' is the link.
