Bit of an odd one this! This is a black and white version of of some detailed carving on a bronze gun, dated 1773, called the Furies Gun (so called because the carriage is carved with female figures symbolizing death and destruction). The gun is on display at Fort Nelson - home to the Royal Armouries national collection of artillery. (This description is partly taken from their souvenir guide).
