Scale: Unknown. A model of a Javanese coasting vessel made entirely in wood and painted in gloss colours. The hull is black below the waterline and light olive green above with an elaborate decorative scheme in black, red, yellow, salmon pink and maroon. The bow and stern are flat and steeply raked and both are colourfully decorated in a geometric pattern. There is a very prominent forefoot and skeg that both protrude from the hull in an upward curve, and which are decorated in patterns of red, black, and olive green. A transverse well-like space in the deck at the stern has immediately forward of it a vertical arrow-shaped post, painted black with a red 'arrow-head'. The aft deck and inboard faces are painted olive green, pale green and decorated with red, pink and black stripes.

A large pitched awning is positioned amidships with a black painted semi-circular ridge. The roof pitch consists of wooden frames onto which is attached horizontal slats tied together. Underneath these slats are wide vertical strips of a raffia or bamboo-like material. Forward of this awning is a smaller, but otherwise identical awning with a red-painted ridge. Extension boards run part of the midship length of the bulwarks on the port and starboard sides. Their upper faces are painted light green with pairs of black and red transverse stripes. The model is equipped with a mast, two sails, three oars (two blades painted red, the other green), a large rudder, and a deck that can be removed in three sections.

The model is displayed on a pair of decoratively shaped mahogany crutches fixed to a wooden rectangular baseboard with straight bevelled edges and four bun feet. On a handwritten metal label is "Coasting Boat used in Java and Madura. Presented to the RN Museum by Miss Gladys Prentice 12, The Circus, Greenwich, in 1901".
