Description: | A Post Medieval copper alloy toy cannon. The muzzle is broken. The barrel has a hollow bore. There is a piece missing from underneath. The cascable terminates in a round knob, which on a full sized maritime gun would be used to support ropes used to manouvre the gun carriage before and after firing and upon the recoil. The breech has a vent above the chamber and the cannon has complete trunions on either side about half way down. Originally it would have had a small wooden carriage. Circa 17th or 18th Century AD.
