Likely originating from China or nearby in East Asia, this "handgonne" is an example of the earliest multi-shot man portable firearms. It has three barrels secured together with bands attached to a section of a haft. The haft would have been longer originally. Each barrel has a touch hole that would have been used to manually ignite the powder charge. The overall length is 26 inches including the wood and 17 1/8 inch not including the wood.
