From Wikipedia

The lantaka (Baybayin (pre virama): ᜎᜆᜃ; post virama: ᜎᜈ᜔ᜆᜃ), also known as the rentaka (Jawi: رنتاک), was a type of bronze portable cannon or swivel gun, sometimes mounted on merchant vessels and warships in Maritime Southeast Asia, from areas that are now the Philippines, Indonesia, Brunei, and Malaysia. Lela and rentaka are known by the Malays as meriam kecil (lit. 'small cannon'), the difference is that rentaka is smaller in length and bore than a lela. In Filipino, lantaka may be referred to as a type of kanyon ('cannon'). The lantaka was cited by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts of the Philippines as an intangible cultural heritage of the country under the 'Traditional Craftsmanship' category that the government may nominate in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists. The documentation of the craft was aided by ICHCAP of UNESCO.
