Description
-
A crossbow, likely of European origin, although this is uncertain. It has a wooden prod that cuts through the middle of the crossbow. Its original bowstring is missing. The stock is made out of wood and features a metal barrel of copper alloy on the top of the stock. The butt of the stock widens in shape, flaring outwards in a similar resemblance to a musket or a rifle. Carved into the stock are the letters “A B.”
