A painted model boat with a crew of small standing figures, some holding long poles or oars, shown in profile on a dark hull with painted decorative panels at the stern/center.

The image shows a small Egyptian boat model: a long dark wooden hull with a pointed bow and stern. Along the deck are multiple human-like figures (dressed in white kilts/loincloths), positioned standing and seated/leaning in places. Several figures hold or are associated with long poles/oars that extend above the deck. At the mid/upper deck there is a boxed, painted structure with a decorative panel (patterned like a net or lattice with contrasting light/dark areas). Straps or lines of material appear at the deck edges, and thin poles/banners are visible near the right side. No clear hieroglyphic inscriptions are visible on the hull or on the painted panels in this image. The object overall visually matches the catalogue theme of a boat model and sporting/rowing activity, though the exact “sporting” aspect (e.g., hunting/harpooning) cannot be confirmed from the provided view.
