This design by Spanish artist Eusebio Zuloaga (1808-1898) was likely created between 1822 and 1872, and depicts detailed designs for a percussion pistol. The intricate patterns feature a repeating motif of stylized floral and animal designs. The artwork is currently held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and is an example of decorative arts that would have been used for gunsmithing.
