Entry
Bronze gun on a swivel.
The gun has a bell-shaped round muzzle and the barrel thickens at the first reinforcement. It has a tubular hollow cascable button to fit a wooden tiller. In front of the vent a sight button is positioned. The trunnion rings of the bronze yoke are forged around the trunnions, so that the gun cannot be removed from the yoke.
