Antique 18th century cast bronze SWIVEL-CANNON. This cannon known as "Lantaka", "Rail Gun" or "Deck, Cannon" was used by the legendary Malay pirate's vessels. This cannon with small cannon-balls was powerful offensive weapon. Lantakas were manufactured during the 17th and early 18th century in Holland by Dutch East India Company for export to Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines.
