Lot: 275 - 19th C. Bronze Southeast Asian Lantaka Cannon with Distinguished Provenance

This impressive bronze lantaka cannon is a finely cast example of Southeast Asian maritime weaponry, notable for both its craftsmanship and its distinguished provenance. Measuring over four feet in length, the cannon exhibits classic features of the type: flared reinforcement rings, a sculpted cascabel, and lug-style lifting handles, along with engraved foliate and floral motifs near the trunnions that elevate its design beyond the purely functional. The surface bears a richly developed patina with areas of green oxidation, consistent with long preservation and careful conservation. A metal tag stamped 1444 is affixed near the breech, likely reflecting its placement within a past collection inventory. Mounted on a custom-crafted wooden base, the piece presents with both academic integrity and strong visual impact. While not recovered from the wreck of the Nuestra Senora de Atocha, this cannon's history is closely tied to the circle of collectors and experts surrounding the famed shipwreck project. Its provenance traces through the Steve Candella Collection and the Frank Bivens Collection before entering the hands of treasure hunter Mel Fisher, celebrated for leading the 16-year expedition that located the Atocha in 1985. Fisher later presented this cannon to Dr. Robert H. Baer in recognition of Baer's important consultancy during the shipwreck project. That direct connection to Fisher and the Atocha expedition adds considerable depth to its appeal, making it not only a fine artifact of Southeast Asian maritime history but also a tangible link to one of the most famous treasure recoveries of the 20th century. Designed originally for practical defense on regional trading vessels, lantakas were also valued as symbols of authority and status. This example reflects both aspects: utilitarian in form yet enriched with decorative embellishment. For collectors, it offers an exceptional combination of artistry, authenticity, and illustrious provenance, making it a centerpiece suitable for display in a museum, academic collection, or distinguished private holding. Cannon only: 49.25"L x 5"W x 5"H. Base only: 53"L x 8"W x 9.5"H. The dimensions are approximate. Dimensions: Cannon only: 49.25"L x 5"W x 5"H. Base only: 53"L x 8"W x 9.5"H.
