CannonIb482 a-c

Bronze cannon with wooden stand. The cannon (part a) has many patterns and geometric designs on the shaft. One end has a ribbed tube and the hole is closed; the other end is flared and has paper stuffed in the hole. Near the centre there are two circular protrusions to which the cone-shaped part that fits into the base is attached. The brown wooden disc (part b) has a centre hole which allows the disc to sit between the cannon and the base. The brown wooden base (part c) is rectangular with a raised middle and a centre hole where the cannon rests. The bottom middle of the base is also raised, with a simple decorative carving.
