Summary

Description
English: This image depicts a junk, with a seaside town in the background. This is an early portrayal of the kind of vessel that was traditionally the lifeblood of commerce throughout the sheltered seas of China and Southeast Asia. The ship is shown manned by sailors in period costume, of which one the figures is engaged in fishing. The flag featuring crescent moons suggests that this particular junk hailed from one of the Islamic sultanates of Indonesia.

The text reads in Dutch language "Schepen van china et Iava met rietten seylen en houten anckers", in English "Ship of China and Java with rattan sails and wooden anchor"

The presence of vegetal sails suggest Southeast Asian origin, and wooden anchors are commonly found in Nusantara archipelago even until 20th century.
Bahasa Indonesia: Gambar ini menggambarkan jung, dengan kota tepi laut di latar belakang. Ini adalah penggambaran awal jenis kapal yang secara tradisional merupakan urat nadi perdagangan di seluruh lautan terlindung di Cina dan Asia Tenggara. Kapal yang ditampilkan diawaki oleh para pelaut dalam pakaian seperiode itu, yang salah satu orangnya terlibat sedang menangkap ikan. Bendera yang menampilkan bulan sabit menunjukkan bahwa jung ini berasal dari salah satu kesultanan Islam di Indonesia.

Teks tersebut berbunyi dalam bahasa Belanda "Schepen van china et Iava bertemu rietten seylen en houten anckers", dalam bahasa Indonesia "Kapal Tiongkok dan Jawa dengan layar rotan dan jangkar kayu"

Adanya layar dari bahan tumbuhan menunjukkan asal Asia Tenggara, dan jangkar kayu umumnya ditemukan di kepulauan Nusantara bahkan sampai abad ke-20.
