The image shows a wooden sign with text in both Indonesian and English. The sign is located at the coordinates -6.138, 106.815, which corresponds to the Museum of Jakarta History in West Jakarta, Indonesia. The sign has a large carved wooden logo of a stylized "VZ", and text that reads "Bersaing buntung, bersatu untung" (meaning "Flunking in competition, thriving in union"). There is also a QR code in the bottom right corner, as well as a text block describing the history of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and its impact on the Spice Trade. The text describes how Dutch trading companies mushroomed following the return of Cornelis de Houtman, which dramatically increased the supply of spices and consequently dropped the price. In 1602, all the trading companies were merged into the Dutch East India Company (VOC), managed by Heren XVII or the Seventeen Masters. The text also describes the Company's first fleet sailing eastward in 1603 with the objectives of opening trades in the Archipelago and demolishing Portuguese domination in the East. The sign is well-lit and appears to be part of an indoor exhibit.
