Cargo vessel; Dhow, Baggala

Scale: Unknown. A model of an Arabian baggala dhow made entirely in unpainted and unvarnished wood. The hull shape has a sharp bow, is wide in the beam, and V-shaped in section. The hull is carvel built with white planks that are sewn together. The steeply raked stem post has been sewn to the planks and terminates in a stem head that has been turned and decorated with two rings. There is a foredeck and an aft deck and the boat is open amidships. There is provision for a mainmast amidships and a mizzen mast on the aft deck which has what appears to be a tabernacle. The raked transom stern appears to be incomplete and there are what appears to be port and starboard quarter galleries. The model is equipped with a rudder made from a different type of wood than the rest of the model.
