Fragmenten van pijpenkoppen en pijpenstelen uit het wrak van de Oost-Indiëvaarder 't Vliegend Hart Possibly 1700 - 1735

This artwork, possibly created between 1700 and 1735 by an artist known only as WS, is a collection of fragments from the wreckage of the Dutch East India Company ship "Vliegend Hart". These fragments are pipe bowls and stems, a common artifact found on ships of the time. These humble objects offer a glimpse into the lives of the sailors who sailed these routes, and the long history of Dutch maritime trade in the 17th and 18th centuries. The "Vliegend Hart" was likely a vessel of the Dutch East India Company, which brought goods from the east to Europe.
