Ironic Name for a Grenade (Ketchum's): SOLD
6X12", Acrylic on Canvas, June 2000.
Another American Civil War grenade, this one was front-percussion fused, and fin-stabilized for throwing. Like a lawn-dart with enough explosives to blow holes in fortifications, concrete, wood logs, etc... Fairly widely used during sieges.
