Model of a Gun and Carriage on a Ship Deck, Model of a gun on a horse on a sloping deck with board on the low side. The wooden barrel is 26 cm long. The rolling horse, narrower at the rear, consists of two cheeks with four steps and an arched cut-out at the bottom, which are connected by the calf, a breast piece, a crossbar in the middle, the soleplate and a bar under the soleplate, and the ashes. The adjusting wedge is missing. The wheels are made of wood and the front wheels are larger than the rear wheels. There is a mechanism in the deck above which hooks under the rear axle body of the horse and holds it up, this mechanism can move back and forth in a cut-out circle segment, thus changing the angle at which the rolling horse, once released, will roll downwards. Where the horse comes against the collar, the collar is reinforced with a cushion block on the inside., Jochem Pietersz.
