A Flemish target crossbow, likely a 19th-century replica, originating more broadly in Northern Europe. It features a slim wooden stock inlaid with bone and ivory plaques and an ornately carved image of a lion coat of arms on the side of the stock. The prod is made of steel. Located at the fore of the prod is a steel stirrup used to help the crossbowman span the weapon. Attached to the top of the stock is a spanning mechanism that is likely a moulinet—a transportable pulley instrument—or a windlass. The crossbow possesses a complicated origin, originally dated as a 15th or 16th century crossbow from Genoa, Italy. It was later reassessed as a 19th-century replica with a Northern European provenance due to recent scholarly inquiry placing the style and condition of the weapon to be inconsistent with the originally dated time period and provenance.

This crossbow is understood to have emerged from central Europe (possibly southern Germany) in the late 15th or early 16th century. The stock is made of wood and has been covered in remarkable carvings completed in staghorn. Notably, in the middle of the stock, just above the trigger guard, a scene of three figures hunting in a small fishing boat is featured. This scene stands out for its visual stillness, contrasting with the other livelier scenes featured on the stock. Viewers may also take note of the delicately engraved peacock feathers that follow the curvature of the stock. The prod, trigger guard, suspension ring, transverse pin and rolling nut are made of steel. The bowstring is recorded as being made of hemp. Along with the carvings depicting various hunting scenes, animals and ornamental florals are inscriptions reading “F.G.E” and “1584”. Though one would be inclined to infer the date inscription to have been carved at the time of its creation, it is theorized to not have been added until later, likely during the 19th century.
