: A model of a sailing boat, with curved bottom, curled stern (broken) and point prow. There are currently four standing figures with one leg in front of the other, one standing with legs together and one kneeling. The photograph (University of Liverpool B.507) indicates that there were originally two kneeling figures, one holding the oar or rudder. There are also two poles. The boat and figures are mainly painted in red-brown and cream with some black detail.
