Summary
A bronze paper and cardboard (Dresden pressed card) model of a cannon. It has spoked wheels mounted on an axle. This axle carries a seat on either side which have attached to them a wheel braking mechanism. In the centre is the rigid mounting for the gun, and the gun itself is privoted above the axle. It is a very frail object.
