Post medieval lead toy cannon with wheels, weighs 47.42g and is rather squashed. There are two openwork wheels (now squashed together) 37mm in diameter. They stand on a rectangular base 43.62x11.19x2.34mm. Between the two wheels and near the top of them is the cannon on a slight diagonal, counterbalanced by a sloping arm below. Depicted on the cannon is a moulded reinforce ring, base ring and button. The objects measures 51.09x48.25mm. Geoff Egan comments: It is two-sided with different perspectives for each version, which tends to suggest C18th at the earliest.
