EGYPTIAN WOODEN SHIP MODEL
Ca. 2030 -1640 BCAn Egyptian carved and painted wooden boat with six boatmen. The men at the front and rear ends of the vessel are seated with their arms holding the row to sail the boat. All six boatmen are depicted in classic Egyptian manner with large, dark-outlined eyes, a cropped black wig, and a white loincloth. Once carved, the figures and boat were covered in a thin layer of gesso and painted in red, black, cream, and white hues. These boatmen were created to be servants in the afterlife, ready to row the deceased upon the eternal Nile. For similar see: MET Museum Accession Number: 26.3.157.
