A Lantaka is a type of bronze cannon that was mounted on merchant vessels travelling the waterways of the Malay Archipelago. They were used in great numbers and various sizes in pre-colonial South East Asia especially in Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia. They were mainly used to defend against pirates demanding tribute for the local chief, or potentate. They were usually mounted with a swivel post and yoke to be set up anywhere on a ship or fortification.
