A very fine and wide bodied Flower Cannon.
This very wide and tall Flower Cannon (as seen by the height of the two men standing along the sides) is adorned with very large morning glory flowers along the sides. The middle section holds a pair of unicorns and a pair of lanterns. Two large models of opera figures sit at the base and a small ship model is set in below the bat. The bat itself is trimmed with a large pair of Golden Flowers.
