The Flower Cannons and Decorative Elements

A dainty painted unicorn dances on the Cannon

Many mythical, auspicious animals are found on the body of the Flower Cannon. This lively unicorn is carefully crafted, to the extent of covering the body in the traditional pattern of scales. In the background a phoenix with elaborate curling tail feathers can be seen.

Date: 6 June, 1985
