Description: "Boze Griet" or "Stuerghewalt", a 170 mm wrought iron cannon made in 1511 for the city of 's-Hertogenbosch by the German forger Johann Fick von Seghem (Jan Fyck van Zeghen), as it today resides in the subterranean Bastionder museum. Due to a bore defect, it never fired a shot in anger. The barrel has a length of 634 centimetres.
