Perusini is a common surname in the area of Casteldurante, Marche The muzzle of this small cannon has two 'faces' - from the side it appears to be a dragons head while from the top it is an old man. The cascable, at the very back, is a horned animal. It was probably made as a gift from one ruler, for example a prince or a king, to another but, as it completely unmarked, we will probably never know. reference term-110475 adlib-term-110475 223ae6a7-2f91-3314-ae3c-da3233ae47dc 16th Century, Mid reference term-106629 adlib-term-106629 e1fb1a11-426b-3006-bf59-4126d48e87ca literal Italy Italy country uncertain Italy brown, artificial reference term-4148 adlib-term-4148 d756a195-9618-3d0b-a5a7-f8f5353fdd11 patina probably bronze reference term-39741 adlib-term-39741 47d44741-af05-37c3-b21e-0e278b114f3b copper alloy reference media-71379 adlib-media-71379 e63f3b27-fd34-3ca2-b795-69daaf60d8ef jpeg aa/aa20/M_4_2003.jpg 1 height pixels 500 width pixels 760 1744135384316 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/mid_M_4_2003.jpg 1 height pixels 329 width pixels 500 1744135384316 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/M_4_2003.jpg 1 height pixels 500 width pixels 760 1744135384316 1 image jpeg aa/aa20/preview_M_4_2003.jpg 1 height pixels 164 width pixels 249 1744135384316 1 image 0 media image reference media-2118657903 portfolio portfolio-media-2118657903 9f5fffc5-74c1-3e70-b732-122872ea6f7a jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/504/857/large_M_4_2003_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 795 width pixels 1024 1529370191000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/504/857/mid_M_4_2003_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 388 width pixels 500 1529370191000 1 image M.4-2003_mas.tif 1529370191000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/504/857/preview_M_4_2003_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 194 width pixels 250 1529370191000 1 image 1 media image reference media-2177974588 portfolio portfolio-media-2177974588 5a5f1b16-c297-39ab-b985-ccd426017508 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/627/716/large_M_4_2003_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 742 width pixels 1023 1550049117000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/627/716/mid_M_4_2003_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 499 1550049117000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/627/716/M_4_2003_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 2997 width pixels 4134 1550049117000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/627/716/preview_M_4_2003_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1550049117000 1 image 2 media image reference term-87494 adlib-term-87494 6835d492-7e06-36fb-aa15-99c44c9d1350 culverin object name reference term-87229 adlib-term-87229 f23e0d8b-dd8f-3a9f-a940-f19696a86591 artillery category canon history note Probably the Duc d'Uzès; Galerie Ratton-Ladrière, 14 rue de Marignan, 75008 Paris; Peter Finer, The Old Rectory, Ilmington, Warwickshire, CV36 46Q; Danny Katz Ltd., 13 Old Bond Street, London, W1S 4SX, from whom purchased reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Publ. 84 reference publication-200001886 adlib-publication-200001886 ed32f67a-1a88-3ec2-8a1c-ba8e9fe8835d '5239 Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, Apollonio di Nicolo Perusini (fl. 1533), Culverin or cannon Publ. p. 100, no. 40, illustrated p. 101 100-01 reference publication-5535 adlib-publication-5535 b5e607dc-c09e-3ae9-9dab-77264363a331 Bronze: the Power of Life and Death reference term-10618 adlib-term-10618 9ebc0ae1-8cf8-312b-832c-9cf44da02136 Renaissance
