A painted wooden model of an Egyptian boat with a long crew of small nude male figures paddling and standing amid vertical poles and rigging.

The image shows a three-quarter view of a long, low boat painted green along the hull and decorated with colored bands and trim. Inside the hull, numerous small human figures (likely male, nude or minimally clothed) are arranged in rows along the deck area; many hold or operate long paddles or oars that extend downward into/near the waterline. Several vertical poles/pegs project upward from the boat’s edge, and there is a tall white element near the center-right that could represent a mast or oar support. Two green, wing-like ornaments or structural supports extend from the bow area. The boat has upturned ends with brown/orange painted elements and rounded caps. No clear hieroglyphs or inscriptions are visible on the photographed surfaces. No royal cartouches are legible, and no specific deity iconography is clearly identifiable from this image alone. Condition appears good, with preserved painted surfaces and assembled figures.
