Cetbang cannon from Majapahit empire era Indonesia (Java); Cannon; Metalwork Circa 14th century Bronze Length 37 7/16 in. (95.2 cm) Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Lerner, in honor of Professor Samuel Eilenberg, 1986. Accession Number: 1986.503 According to M. Averoes, this cannon's dating was wrong, because it preceded the entry of the breech-loading swivel cannon into the Nusantara archipelago, which he estimated to be occured in the 1460s. From the symbol of Surya Majapahit found on the barrel (to be precise above the fork or swivel fork), it can be estimated that this cannon was made before the fall of the capital city of Majapahit, in 1478. He estimates that this cetbang cannon was made between 1470-1478. A similar cannon can also be found in the Bali museum, with the Surya Majapahit insignia on the front of the muzzle, and the symbol of the 5 cosmic mountains above the fork. |
