Description: | INDIA In general features like the example from Ellerbeck, Holstein, but with more lashing round the rods; also, the arms turn upwards and their ends are cut to form flukes. (From Catalogue of Fisheries Exhibition, London, 1884, vol.iii, pl.2, p.18)
Scale: Unknown. A model of a killick from India consisting of a small rectangular block of stone which sits vertically on the top of two angled wooden arms notched together to form a cross shape. The arms themselves where they meet form a flat base and then angle upwards and taper to produce a small diamond shaped palm at their ends. There are four wooden rods dowelled into the arms which hold the stone in place and are secured together at the top by a large amount of rope lashings. At the top of the lashings is a small loop to which is attached a small cable.
Possibly made by Robert Morton Nance.
