"Six-Pounder Shot" is a 1861 sculpture by Joseph Whitworth. The elongated, cylindrical form is made of cast iron and is ornamented with two incised, oval shaped depressions on the body of the sculpture. This piece is an example of Whitworth's exploration of industrial materials and forms. The work likely refers to the six-pounder cannonball that Whitworth was well-known for developing.
