A good friend has made this photos at Veste Oberhaus Museum in Passau, in Bavaria South Germany. This little stone bombard or mortar (Steinbüchse / Mörser) was casted from iron. It is dated around 1400. The museum describes this piece as the oldes known example for a iron casted cannon.
In case the dating "ca 1400" is correct this piece would really be an unique object. |
