Field gun used in the Anglo-Zulu war

This field gun was used in the British army from around 1870-1895. It was capable of firing a projectile that weighed around 4 kg. The gun itself weighed around 90 kg and were mounted onto carriages to make it easier to transport them across rough terrain. The gun was loaded from the front and fired by igniting the gunpowder from the rear.
