Used by the Ottoman empire during the fall of Constantinople.

When the army assembled at the city walls of Constantinople on 2 April 1453 CE, the Byzantines got their first glimpse of Mehmed's cannons. The largest was 9 metres long with a gaping mouth one metre across. Already tested, it could fire a ball weighing 500 kilos over 1.5 km. So mammoth was this cannon that it took an awfully long time to load and cool it so that it could only be fired seven times a day.

Exactly right Kev!
Now we need another object.

What is it?

is it an apron made from scrap cloth at the mill?

Do they call it a 'brat'?

You're right David about the fent worn in the mill being a brat but this is not one of them. Clue, worn next to the skin......

Is it a money pouch?

Yes Gloria, well done, it's a body belt for concealing money.....
Now we need another object...

What can you tell about this?

Is it an oil lamp?

Yes it is Kev, but can you tell me what it was used for?
