Description: | INIDIAN OCEAN Similar to the two forms of single-piece armed kedge-anchor of the Federated Malay States, but the two pieces forming the crook are pegged and lashed together instead of being either only pegged or lashed. (From a model in Musee de Marine, Paris, labelled "Ancre de I'Inde")
Scale Unknown. A model of a half killick from the Indian Ocean. The shank consists of a tall piece of wood, square in section to which has been lashed a roughly rounded 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 rope lashings as well as a single wooden dowel passing through both. At the top of the shank is a small hole through which a metal eye passes and has been reinforced with rattan lashings.
Possibly made by Robert Morton Nance.
