"The Pangolin of Malacca, Tingieling (Malay) from 'Drawings of Animals, Insects and Reptiles from Malacca', c.1805-18" is a notable work by an anonymous artist, capturing the rich biodiversity of Malacca, Malaysia, in the early 19th century. This piece is part of a larger collection that meticulously documents the diverse fauna of the region through detailed illustrations. The artwork, dated between 1805 and 1818, serves as a valuable historical record, offering insights into the species that inhabited Malacca during this period, as well as the scientific and artistic interests of the time.

The illustration of the pangolin, referred to by its local Malay name "Tingieling," stands out for its detailed depiction of the creature's unique physical characteristics, such as its protective keratin scales, which are meticulously rendered to highlight the pangolin's distinctive armor. The choice of the pangolin as a subject reflects the artist's interest in the exotic and less commonly documented wildlife of the region, contributing to the broader European fascination with Southeast Asian biodiversity during the era of colonial exploration and documentation.
