The art of metal-casting was known in the Brunei Sultan
te as long as the 16th century. Early trade with China, India and the Middle East may have ushered in the craft along with the forms and decorative motifs.
Feature: A miniature crocodile cannon with touch-hole on four wheels, I tip this to be once an important currency during the butter trading period, an exceptional heirloom with a healthy weight of 1.2kg / 2.6 lb for a miniature, very heavy.
"In the Malay Archipelago, especially in the Borneo and Indonesian island, the miniature cannons served as preferred monetary tender, desirable marriage dowry and were treasured as an heirloom and a status symbol."
