The largest of these three cannons shares a similar decoration with a pair of cannons from Mysore, Seringapatam, published in Stuart Cary Welch, India, Art and Culture, 1300-1900, New York, 1985, cat.188, p.281-82. Another almost identical pair, found in the fort of Tipu Sultan at Seringapatam along with 371 other "brass guns" is illustrated in Porter, Robert Ker, The Storming of Seringapatam, London, 1803, p.139 (S.C.Welch, op.cit., p. 283). -
