Canon from Beijing

In 1994 I also saw a pair of these on the terrace outside the National Museum, Budapest.

A smaller sized barrel of field-gun size, similar markings, and in a Chinese-style carriage with wooden wheels, is in the museum of the US Military Academy at West Point, NY. There are two others like it in British military museums, one of which is dated 1689 and the other remounted in a much later British military gun carriage.
