Complete and partially working, I believe this is both the largest of the projectile-trigger type from ancient times as well as the largest known metal-cast mechanism from ANY location in the ancient world (correct me if I am wrong). Dry cave burials in the north of China have given up amazingly clean and uncorroded bronze artifacts. This almost makes that upper range, but a couple of parts are tight and CAN be loosened (at which time it will fully work) with WD-40 or other dissolvers. One of the most important military artifacts from ancient China. Over 7" from point-to-point, it will amaze everyone who touches it.
