EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Ships cannon Lantaka, believed to be from Borneo or Brunei in the 18th century. Crafted from bronze and measuring an impressive 120 cm in length, this historical artifact is now part of a private collection. The attention to detail on this naval weapon is truly remarkable. The barrel features a beautifully cast medallion, adding an element of elegance to its formidable presence. Mounted on a hinged swivel, it allows for easy maneuverability and precise targeting during battles at sea. Displayed on a modern wooden stand, this cannon stands as a testament to the rich maritime history of Southeast Asia. It serves as a reminder of the bravery and strength exhibited by troops who fought valiantly aboard ships like these. With its association with military might and the armed forces, this piece represents more than just an object; it symbolizes the power and resilience of nations that once dominated these waters. Its significance extends beyond mere weaponry - it embodies the spirit of exploration, trade, and conquest that shaped Southeast Asian history. As we admire this extraordinary photograph captured by eChristies Images (out of copyright), let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also reflect upon the profound impact that cannons like these had on shaping our world today.
