Description: | A corroded and incomplete Post Medieval cast copper alloy toy cannon. The cannon is 62.56mm long with two central trunion bars, one of which is broken. At the breech end there is a thickened base ring from which the barrel tapers to a domed cascabel. There is a vent hole on one side between the base ring and the first reinforcement. From the trunnion forward the barrel tapers slightly to a flared muzzle. Between the muzzle and the trunnion the barrel is decorated with two circumferential rings. The cannon weighs 21.09g and at its widest point at the base ring is 11.58mm in diameter. There is a very similar example in Forsyth and Egan, 2005 Toys Trifles and Trinkets London: Museum of London pp82. The cannon dates from c1680-c1720 AD..
