Description: | FEDERATED MALAY STATES Form I. Two pieces of wood rattan lashed to form a crook; warp made fast to crown and led through strop on shank; possibly a device for tripping (by breaking the strop) when the crook has fouled. (Skeat Coll.)
Scale Unknown. A model of a half killick from the River Siak, East Coast of Sumatra. The shank consists of a tall piece of wood square in section slightly tapering towards the top to which has been lashed a small rectangular block of stone. At the base of the shank is a curved wooden arm finishing in a point which is held in position by two rattan lashings. There is also a rattan eye just above the base and running upto the top of the killick which is possibly a device for tripping when the killick is fouled. At the top of the shank is a small hole though which a rattan loop passes to attach a cable to.
Possibly made by Robert Morton Nance.
