An armed merchant vessel of Swedish origin, equipped and used for the specialised Eastern trade, notably in spices, by the Swedish East Indies Company between the 17th and 19th centuries. Vessels of this type were unusually large for the period and considered of extremely status, this being reflected in their rich ornament.
