JORHAT, Oct 9: The inscription on the hand cannon that was found off Mariani, belongs to the Ahom king Swargadeo Gadadhar Singha reign.
District museum officer Abantika Parashar, who brought the cannon from the Mariani police station on Sunday said that the words inscribed on the hand cannon were Swargadeo Gadadhar written in Assamese. “The next word might be Singha which is not clearly visible,” she added.
Parashar said that the inscription pattern on the cannon is similar to the three belonging to the Ahom era, which are kept in Assam State Museum, Guwahati.
