The engraving, created by an English School artist, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of this region during that time. The image showcases a variety of scenes and elements that define life in these islands. At first glance, we are drawn to a grand government building at the entrance of a bustling city. Surrounding it is an assembly of people engaging in various activities - some offering prayers, others rejoicing or engaged in conversation. Intriguingly, there is also a depiction of a granary and threshing activity nearby, highlighting the importance of rice cultivation as well as agriculture's role in sustaining communities. A serene lake named Singharah adds natural beauty to this vibrant landscape. Further exploration reveals architectural gems like Malay Kigah houses with their unique design features.
