Single-levelled ship to the right with a flat hull and a massive square bow with a concave stempost integrating a ram that tapers into a pointed tip. The stempost ends in an S-shaped horn that curves forward then backward parallel to the hull, and curls into a rectangular tip. The forecastle is a solid rectangle integrated to the bow. The sternpost is near vertical, with an incurving horn that curls into a roughly triangular shaped tip. There is a single downward pointing quarter rudder with a tiller and a triangular shaped oar blade. There is no apparent aftercastle. The mast is amidships, with a bisected V top (karchesion), a forestay and a backstay. At its base is a square mast-step system. Two antithetical birds are perched on the posts, while a very large fish swims below (possibly a shark or a large tuna).
