Copper alloy toy cannon. Cast barrel of a cannon, modelled at a scale of c.1:60 [depending on the size of gun this represented]. A plain cylindrical cascabel projects from the end, and two moulded rings define a zone perforated by a drilled touchhole of diameter 2.6mm. A further moulded groove separates this part from the central barrel, where opposed trunnions would engage with the structure of a separate carriage. The barrel tapers from here towards a further moulded ring at the base of the flaring of the muzzle. The form resembles Type 3 Design 1 as defined in London, though its siz…

Copper alloy figurine. Cast naturalistically modelled seated figure, possibly representing a child and if so, perhaps at c.54mm scale. The figure is seated upright with arms alongside the body and bent at the elbows, the figure’s right arm is now further from the body than the left. At first sight the figure appears naked; however, the genitalia and rump have escaped portrayal if this is the case, and there is the suspicion of short tunic sleeves in the area of the upper arms. The eye of faith might also discern the neckline of a tunic below the face. The short legs are lightly…
