Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A pair of exquisite falconet barrels made to order of Prince M. Radziwill and cast in 1600 (now in collection of the Polish Army Museum, Warsaw). On the left is the highly ornate 1-pounder, destined supposedly for the castle artillery in Nieśwież (Lithuania), modelled as an old demolished column covered with leaves and wrapped up with cords. On the right the octangular barrel of a shortened falconet of 3/4 lb (commonly called "sparrowhawk") is visible. Both decorated with the proprietor's coat of arms and made evidently in style of 16th-century bronze guns.
