Spanish colonial bronze signal cannon (mortar), 1600s-1700s. 2502 grams, 4" x 3-3/4" x 1-7/8" bore. Sometimes called a "thundermug," short flat-bottomed cannons like this were used as powder-testers and signaling guns, this one of typical design consisting of ring-turned decoration, touch-hole at bottom (the hole rather large, with V-shaped void on bottom, possibly fragmented from use), nice green patina all over. With photo-certificate.
