Looking for a lantaka with turtles, crocs, dragon, bird, & sun symbols

Jose, maraming salamat! This will be very useful in my research

For everybody's info, the University of Sto. Tomas (Manila) I heard published a book on lantakas. I've yet to verify whether the book has already been published. Thanks.

HERE ARE A FEW PICTURES OF VARIOUS LANTKA ,THEY MAY SHOW UP IN OLD POSTS OR NOT?? BUT HERE THEY ARE FOR REFRENCE. THE MUSEUM IN SINGAPORE HAS A LARGE COLLECTION OF THEM THE PICTURES OF SEVERAL MOUNTED OUTSIDE ARE FROM THERE. ONE CANNON HAS A GARUDA HEAD IT IS IN A MUSEUM IN DEMPASAR BALI.
THEY HAVE QUITE A FEW OF THEM FOR SALE IN BORNEO AND MOST ARE MADE RECENTLY AND IN THE SMALLER SIZES. THE PICTURES MOUNTED ON A WOODEN BASE IS ONE OF THESE.

Another good source is on mini-lantaka but will be relevant here as well:

The Might of the Miniature Cannon: a Treasure of Borneo and the Malay Archipelago ISBN 983-41807-2-1

Also - the "dolphins" in the middle of my lantaka are I think actually sea horses
