About the Item

This swivel rail cannon was cast in the foundries of Malacca and Pahang and served aboard small merchant vessels to deter pirates. The barrel features a one-inch bore and is mounted to a wooden swivel base with wheels. Overall condition is good—the bronze retains decorative elements, and the piece shows the expected oxidization and a rich, aged patina that are consistent with its considerable age. C. 1760, Malaysia W. 37 in x D. 14 in
