I am not sure just what this large brass plaque / standard is . I have have shown it to a military dealer who said he did not think it is was a Cannon Plaque. The worn broken bracket on the back looks to me to have taken a wood / metal pole ? which may have made it a Standard so you could hold it up or mount it on a wall. These are just my own thoughts. Having looked all over and the internet. I cannot find anything like this plaque or the quality of the brass fret work as shown in the photos. Having said that I have found the Lion and Sword / Sun with the Lion Now Rampant \' in the Reign of Nasser E Din Qajar 1831 - 1896. That was the period it was first shown on the Persian Flag.Looking at the plaque on both sides it looks to me to have a very good age of circa 1840 / 50. I may be wrong but as a plumber for 50 years I know what old brass looks like. There are two brass rivets at the bottom of the plaque which looks like they may also have held a small bracket to hold the pole that may have come through the top bracket. Just my own opinion about these brackets and the pole. I have been told by a Lady that the writing is Persian and something to do with the journey to enlightenment. The Horseman with the sword may well be Nasser E Qajar. I know and like history but you will have to make your own mind up on the brass Plaque / Standard. It Is 32cm wide by 42cm long. --- ie. 12 1/2\" wide x 16 1/2\" long. Made of one piece of plate brass. A very nice and interesting piece of history. I will not take returns on this Plaque It is bought as seen. What I will say is I think it could be a rare item. Please note the brass cannon in the photo is not in this sale It Is for detail in the photo\'s.
