~ Indian Lantaka Style Decorative Cannons and Stands ~
Lantaka or rentaka was a type of bronze portable cannon or swivel gun, sometimes mounted on merchant vessels and warships in Maritime Southeast Asia. It was commonly equipped by native seafaring vessels from Indonesia, Philippines, Brunei and Malaysia. Lela and rentaka is known by the Malays as meriam kecil (small cannon), the difference is that rentaka is smaller in length and bore than a lela.
Pur example here are decorative pieces meant to emulate the old cannons. Nevertheless, they are bronze-cast heavy pieces with a small-bore section at the muzzle end, so they will have the aspect of the real cannon.
Both pieces are mounted on purposely build stands.
~ Condition ~
As seen in the pictures there are some cracks in the casting but they can easily be covered with paint.
The wooden mounts are solid
