Description from the seller

A small work of art with wit

The turtle pulls the cannon

Two unusual eye-catchers in warm metallic tones: This 2-piece set combines a detailed cannon model with a turtle figurine. The dark surfaces and lighter accents emphasize the nostalgic character of the arrangement.

Cannon model: an elongated barrel in a warm metal tone on a dark chassis with two spoked wheels. Small levers and a shield-shaped detail complete the design.
Turtle: sculpted head, four legs and a convex shell with pronounced relief decor.

Presented together in a display cabinet or separately on a shelf, the two objects showcase varied forms and decorative details.

What’s included: the pictured cannon model and the turtle
no dating information
Dark surfaces with warm visible signs of wear; shell defect (see photo)
