Wooden model of boat with crew: The hull is narrow in proportion to length; ends in a curved finial forward and a straight finial aft, with a short plinth to act as stand. The form of the hull is that of a funeral barge, but the ornamental finials are wrongly placed. This was done anciently, as the painted-plaster coating shows. The maker has mistaken the bow for the stern; the straight finial should be forward on the bows, which are indicated by the oculi (wedjat-eyes) 12th Dynasty Materials wood plaster linen نموذج لقارب شراعى جنائزى من الخشب والجص والكتان الأسرة 12
