About this work
Bronze cannon with ears in the form of dolphins. On the long barrel, a relief figure in the form of a sailing East Indiaman, a reference to the Compagnie van Verre. Bands with arabesques and also leaf wreaths. The cascabel has the form of a bunch of grapes with vine leaves. Against the breech, three lilies and three acanthus leaves. The edges of the touchhole are relatively large.
