Description: | Scale: About 1:48. A full hull model of a Burmese war canoe (circa 1890) made entirely in wood and painted in realistic colours. The model appears to be carved from a single piece of wood. The hull is long and narrow, and upturned at the bow and stern. The bow is arrow-shaped and pointed, while the sweeping high stern is flat-faced, chisel-shaped and with a decoratively-carved rectangular panel at the end. The hull is decorated with painted flowers on a red ground, with an oculus painted either side of the bow. The inboard bulwarks are painted green and fittings include fifteen thwarts.
