Tschinki (Wheel-Lock Hunting Rifle)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Tschinki (Wheel-Lock Hunting Rifle) by an unknown artist shows a long-barreled, ornate hunting rifle. The rifle has a predominantly dark brown stock adorned with intricate gold and silver inlays. The metal components, including the barrel, lock, and trigger mechanism, exhibit a silver-gray color. The butt of the rifle features a dark brown and gold design. A silver figure of a man on horseback is positioned above the lock. The rifle is displayed on a black stand. The background transitions from black at the top to light gray at the bottom.
