拍品描述
L 89,5 cm Lantaka (Rentaka in Malay, also known as Kanyon in Tagolog), is a type of bronze cannon mounted on merchant vessels travelling the waterways of the Malay Archipelago. They were used in great numbers and various sizes in precolonial South East Asia especially in Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia. The guns were primarily used to defend against pirates demanding tribute for the local chief, or potentate. They varied in weight from a few pounds to over a ton. The small examples were usually mounted with a swivel post and yoke to be set up anywhere on a ship or fortification. The heavy cannons were mounted on gun carriages. These cannons were mainly made at the foundries in the Malacca and Pahang regions with later patterns from the foundries in the Netherlands and Portugal and finally in Brunei. They became so popular that the Dutch and Portuguese quickly learned that they could make and trade these cannon for goods but also for safe passage through pirate infested waters. The absence of a condition report does not imply that a lot is in perfect condition.
