Context:

Pellet crossbows like this one shot small stones or molded clay pellets rather than steel-tipped bolts. They were used solely for hunting fowl and small animals such as squirrels, rabbits, or ermine. Pellet crossbows (also called stonebows) lacked the power and range of conventional crossbows, but they could be spanned by hand. They were used throughout Europe from about 1550 to 1700, and, like their counterparts, were often beautifully decorated.
