iron ignot?
Hi! I bought this small metal ball from an antique shop in Chania, the owner inisted this was a ball from a small cannon.
The ball is very small, in one photo is near a bichaq to show the size. But the ball is not round at all, and it was made this way! Could it be a sort of "iron ignot" from the 19th century or earlier? I have seen "wootz iron" ignots of this size, but more round. Any ideas? |
