Scale: Unknown. A model of a market boat used in Point de Galle, Sri Lanka made entirely in wood which has been varnished. The hull is carved from a single piece of hardwood roughly finished in the inside and is double ended in shape. The hull has a keel terminating in a rounded boss at one end and a square boss at the other end. There are two wide thwarts at the bow and stern ends and a wide plank is sewn to the bulwarks amidships for accommodating the single mast. The mast consists of a single piece of dowelling to which is rigged a cotton sail and a yard. The rudder is slightly curved on its inside edge and fits to the stern using two pins. On the paper label adhered to the port three quarters is: '14'. The model is displayed on a pair of turned polished black wooden pillars fixed to a rectangular mahogany baseboard. On handwritten metal plaque is: 'Indian dugout Canoe from Malabar'.
