"Tung Fish, Eekan Liedah Liedah" is an illustration from the collection 'Drawings of Fishes from Malacca', which is a compilation of artworks created circa 1805-1818 by an anonymous artist. The collection is notable for its detailed depiction of marine life from the Malacca region, which is part of present-day Malaysia. The illustration of the Tung Fish, also known as Eekan Liedah Liedah in the local vernacular, is a significant example of early 19th-century natural history art and provides insight into the biodiversity of the Malacca Strait during that period.

The artwork is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, capturing the physical characteristics and coloration of the Tung Fish with scientific precision. This suggests that the anonymous artist may have had a background in natural history or was working under the guidance of naturalists who were cataloging species in the region. The 'Drawings of Fishes from Malacca' serves not only as an artistic endeavor but also as an important historical document, reflecting the interests in taxonomy and the natural world during the age of exploration and colonial expansion in Southeast Asia.

The illustration is part of a larger body of work that was likely intended for study and reference, contributing to the broader European understanding of exotic species encountered in colonial territories. The anonymity of the artist adds an element of mystery to the collection, leaving historians and art enthusiasts to speculate about the creator's identity and the exact circumstances under which the drawings were produced.

As a visual record from the early 19th century, "Tung Fish, Eekan Liedah Liedah" and the entire 'Drawings of Fishes from Malacca' collection hold value for both the art community and scientific researchers.
