Description: | Model illustrating the sewing pattern on a mtepe boat of the East African coast. The planks have been left unclosed so that the dowels between them can be observed. The pattern produced is one of triple unconnected vertical bars of stitching outboard and a criss-cross pattern with verticals inboard. The pattern seems to be almost the standard method for all sewn boats of the Indian Ocean, although dowels between the planks are not always found.
