A painted wooden model of an Egyptian boat with multiple standing male rowers and passengers, shown in side view. The boat’s front has a decorated, arched superstructure with a dark circular/arched emblem and a small steering/oar-like element at the bow.

The image shows a small scale Egyptian boat model painted yellow/orange with darker trim. Along the length of the boat, a row of men stand and appear to be rowing (arms extended toward oar/rowing positions). Inside the boat area there is also a group of seated or standing figures near the middle. At the stern/front end there is an arched, decorated structure (painted panel) with a dark central emblem or window-like panel and a patterned border. Two large red-brown oar blades/crossbars extend from the rear/side of the boat. The overall scene corresponds to a “travelling/rowing boat” style depiction rather than a purely symbolic boat fragment. No clearly readable hieroglyphic text or inscriptions are visible at this resolution; the only markings are painted decorative motifs. No clear cartouches, royal names, or divine iconography are discernible from the figures’ generic human forms.
