Scale: Unknown. A model of an Indian kotia dhow made entirely in wood with metal and organic material fittings. The hull is made plank-on-frame and varnished and has a lead keel. The stempost is very deep and shallow terminating in a parrots head figurehead with the beak pointing towards the stern. There are reliefs of two sea creatures carved on either side of the stempost and, at the front of the stempost, is a small carving of a birds head. The main deck has two hatches, the forward one is rectangular in shape with two covers, the rearmost one is triangular and has four covers. The mainmast is positioned just forward of amidships and provision for it is at the front of the triangular cargo hatch. Main deck fittings include a grapnel, stockless anchor, a capstan with six bars and a short companion ladder that provides access to the upper deck. The mainsail is latrine rigged. The mizzen mast is positioned on the upper deck and is also latrine rigged. Forward of the mizzen mast is a six bar capstan and aft is a binnacle and a wheel that works the rudder. The port and starboard stern quarters each have two portholes which are glazed and above them is decorative rope detail that extends to the stern. The stern is decoratively carved and a pair of stern mounted davits stow a small workboat carved from a single piece of wood. A second workboat is stowed elsewhere on the model. The model is displayed on a pair of shaped crutches fixed to a rectangular baseboard with straight bevelled edges, the whole of which is painted black.
