Description: | Model boat with raised pointed prow and raised fishtail style stern. Contains two thwarts near the prow and mid-section and decking towards the stern. Towards the prow there are two oars and a hinged mast able to be easily raised or lowered suggesting this vessel could be propelled by either sail or oar. At the stern there is a steering oar. The hull appears to be dugout (hollowed out log) with the stem and stern pieces attached separately. Also contains a figure carved from wood seated in a cross legged position. This figure has become detached from the model and has one arm missing.
