The Burmese bronze ‘dragon’ cannon, which dates from 1790, is cast in the form of a dragon.

The Fort Nelson piece is one of a set of four, which was taken from the palace of King Thebaw at Mandalay in Burma after the British victory over the Burmese in 1885.

It is thought it was a war trophy the Burmese took from the Siamese, before the British took it.
