Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy toy miniature canon of late Post-Medieval date (17th-19th century). These models were produced as complete working models of their larger counterparts. This toy cannon comprises a circular barrel that tapers from bulbous knop (cascabel button) at one end, to the muzzle at the other. Two trunnions, which are round in section, project from a collar midway along the barrel. These would have enabled the piece to be elevated and mounted onto a wooden wheeled carriage such as that depicted in Bailey (1993), p.37, No. 12. The length is 53mm, the width is 19mm thickness 10…
