Description: | Model boat known around the Singapore and Malayan coastline as a sampan kotak(?) or bumboat, used for fishing or carrying cargo. The model has a raked stem and transom stern with a broad beam and shallow draught. The stern extends beyond the transom board with an additional section of planking either side. This gives the sampan its unique ‘winged’ appearance. The hull contains decking and the exterior of the hull is decorated with black lines and wave-like patterns. The model is possibly made from ivory(?) and features writing on the base of the hull.
