Description: | RIVER GANGES Anchor of kosh. A cross arm killick with rods very close together and canvas-bound; the canvas apparently contains a sand-bag or gravel in place of a stone. (After B. Solvyns, 1799)
Scale: Unknown. A model of a killick from the River Ganges, India consisting of two flat slightly curved pieces of wood tapering to a point at their ends, placed one on top of the other to form a flat cross shape. There is a small stone with a flat bottom on top of the wooden cross which is held in position by four wooden sticks coming up through the wooden cross. The sticks are completely enclosed in a canvas type material starting above the wooden arm and finishing at the top to form a neck. There is an additional wooden peg protruding at the base of the anchor which holds the two arms together.
Possibly made by Robert Morton Nance.
