Equipment model; Anchor model
A model of a Byers anchor made entirely in wood and stained a dark brown colour. There is a 'D'-shaped ring at the top of the shank. The shank swivels on the crown through an arc of about 90 degrees, the mechanism for which is embedded in the crown itself. The crown has a rounded bottom, and at each corner, there are four rectangular feet. The short arms sweep vertically from the crown terminating in a pair of elongated flukes whose height is level with approximately two-thirds the height of the shank.
