Model of an Oriental vessel Model of a Cora-Cora, Polychromed eroded block model of a rowing vessel. It is a smooth-edged pointed gatter with straight stevens. It has built a sharp underwater ship on a keel, which could indicate a flawless prowl: this could also explain the two reconstructed crossbars on the stern and bow, which could be booms for floaters. It has a front deck, a cabin in the midship that extends in three sections to the overhanging gate. The model is decorated with two eyes at the bow, lattice windows, and gilded reliefs of birds on the bulkheads. Overhanging corridors have fourteen rowing places indicated, and at the rear the ship has rudder supports for two side rudders, where the cabin has two openings for the helmsmen. A damaged strut in the foredeck suggests a kind of rigging support, while a hole at the bow could be a mast hole, possibly for a three-legged mast, this has been reconstructed on the model based on literature., Netherlands, Arnoldus Geesteranus, anonymous, Indonesian Archipelago, c. 1800 - c. 1875, wood (plant material), brass (alloy), h 15.3 cm × l 75.5 cm × w 28.8 cm
