| Summary: | Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (pXRF) was used to analyse five 17th and 18th-century bronze Dutch East India Company (VOC) cannon stored in the Huế Royal Antiquities Museum. They exist at the intersection of different relationships between the Vietnamese Trịnh Lords and the VOC, with analysis revealing variations in manufacturing quality and decoration. One cannon in particular, Cannon 54, exhibits significantly elevated iron content and background readings, suggesting heterogeneity caused by different origins. These standards suggest Cannon 54 was cast in a little-known Southeast Asian foundry rather than in the Dutch Republic. |
