This anonymous engraving, titled “De koninklijke prauw van de koning van Borneo” (The Royal Prau of the King of Borneo), depicts a traditional Indonesian prau (a type of sailing vessel). The drawing, which dates from 1601-1646, depicts a large canoe or prau with a canopy over the rear deck, being rowed by several figures with oars. The depiction suggests the power and prestige associated with the king of Borneo. The engraving is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
