Model of a boat

Model of a boat of modern manufacture. The sides are decorated with ornamental hieroglyphs, identical on both sides. At the prow and stern appear, respectively, a ram’s head above the sign mn and other unidentifiable elements, and on the opposite end, a squatting child seated on a lotus flower. The bottom is flat and the interior hollow. On one side, at the centre, there is a small male figure with the left arm raised and the left leg advanced. The object is very similar to Provv. 8319, and the inscriptions on both pieces resemble those on Provv. 6383. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
