Snaphance Gunlock

Cleveland Museum of Art

The gunlock, titled Snaphance Gunlock, made by an unknown artist, is predominantly silver in color. It features a complex design with various figures and patterns. The main body of the lock is decorated with several human figures and faces, as well as other designs such as leaves and flowers. The top part has a mechanism that appears to be a hammer or frizzen, positioned at the top center. Two human-like figures are positioned on either side, one on the left and one on the right. The figure on the right appears to be a man with a raised arm. The base of the lock is long and flat, with more intricate designs and patterns etched into it. The background of the image is a gradient from dark to light gray.
