    The image shows a historic artillery cannon mounted on a wooden and iron wheeled carriage, positioned in front of a stone or stucco building with a barred gate entrance. The cannon appears to be a muzzle-loading field piece, likely from the 18th or 19th century, displayed as a museum or historical site exhibit. A second partial cannon is visible on the left side of the frame.

    Hawaii's Army National Guard reclaimed these 12-pound breach-loading cannons. The cannons where manufactured by the Driggs-Schroeder Company, and where received by the National Guard of Hawaii in 1895. They had been stored at Iolani Palace barracks by the Hawaii Historical Society and have been turned over the Guard. The 487th field Artillery of the HIARNG plans to restore the cannons.
