Our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Mr Peter Hamer of Amsterdam, Netherlands who had recently donated a total of 27 antique miniature cannons to the Sarawak Museum. Mr Hamer, was an engineer who collected these cannons during his employment with Sarawak Shell Bhd in Miri from the year 1976 to 1984.
He had donated the cannons to the Sarawak Museum so that the valuable artefacts will be preserved and appreciated by future generations especially by the local folks. It is indeed delightful for us to have receive the miniature cannons which are intricately crafted and symbolising the artistic heritage of Borneo. It will now become part of Sarawak Museum’s exciting collection and further enhancing its reputation as a global centre for cultural and historical artefacts
On hand to receive the artefacts was Sarawak Museum Department director, Puan Nancy Jolhi and witnessed by our Deputy Minister of Tourism, Creative Industry & Performing Arts Sarawak (MTCP), Datuk Sebastian Ting and the ministry’s permanent secretary, Datu Sherrina Hussaini.
