It's the first type of bomb made with iron casting. They were first used by the Chinese in 1231 vs the Mongolians in a naval battle. It was basicly an iron container with gunpowder in it.

"consisted of gunpowder put into an iron container...then when the fuse was lit (and the projectile shot off) there was a great explosion the noise whereof was like thunder, audible for more than a hundred li, and the vegetation was scorched and blasted by the heat over an area of more than half a mou. When hit, even iron armour was quite pierced through."
