This highly ornamented & decorated canon,labelled as 'Dutch Canon' is displayed at 'Centenary Heritage Museum', Hyderabad,having seen many canons here,with persian inscriptions,this canon is way apart,hence led me do a bit of research on it.

Features of this Canon -
Casabel: decorative leaf ornamentation.
1st reinforce: Coat of arms and inscriptions.
2nd reinforce: Two decorative handles for lifting.
Trunnion: Pivot to fit on carriage.
Chase: Plain with two serpents.
Muzzle: Beautiful ornamented decoration.

About 75kms away in Vicarabad is this 1880's faboulous Victorian mansion 'Vicar Manzil' which belonged to Paigah noble,Sir Vicar Ul Umra Bahadur,presently it's a Revenue Divisional Office.
Whole of Vicarabad jagir belonged to Sir Vicar Ul Umra,hence named after him.
2/10
This property still belongs to the family of Paigahs , which has been given on rent decades ago to the state government.
Requesting @arvindkumar_ias sir to kindly get the blatant huge signage replaced from facade railing , which is spoiling the aesthetics and structure too.
3/10
Potrait of Paigah Noble
Sir Vicar ul Umra Bahadur, who served as Prime Minister of erstwhile Hyderabad state, was brother in law of 6th Nizam , has credit of constructing & owning fabulous architectural marvels including Falaknuma Palace.
