Deep and beamy crescentic hull with a flat topped incurving sheer. On either side of the hull is a marked protruding stripe that runs between the stems and follows the sheer, perhaps representing a wale. Just below the gunwale (c. 1 cm below) is a row of evenly spaced horizontal holes running from stem to stem on either side (37 on one and 38 on the other side respectively). These were pierced prior to firing. The keel (A) is rendered as a narrow molded bar running the length of the ship, rectangular in section and projecting into the hull. It widens toward the stems to a width of about 2 cm. One of the stems is partially broken. The intact stem projects about 6 cm high above the gunwale. It is flattened frontally, widens towards its upper extremity and ends in a flat, horizontal edge. It has two pierced holes arranged horizontally. On the inner side of the damaged stem are seven protruding "buttons" c. 1 cm in diameter (C). The upper two are at the same level horizontally, while the remaining five are placed in a vertical row below them. Wachsmann argues that this is the sternpost, and that although it is broken it should be reconstructed in a bifurcated manner, as on the very similar model from Maroni. There is a circular mast socket amidships 3.5 cm in height and 3 cm in diameter (B). On either side of the mast socket (7cm and 9 cm from the keel plank) is a bollard or belaying pin (D, E), one of which is partially damaged. These hooks likely served as an internal structure to attach lateral cables to the ship's hull, or possibly the stays. Basch thinks that the boat was actually made of hides on a wooden framework, with the row of holes below the gunwale used for passing the ligatures (unconvincing).

From chamber tomb 2b, designated as such for sharing a common dromos with another tomb. Tomb 2a was the principal chamber leading directly from the dromos, while tomb 2b was annexed on the right side of the dromos. Tomb 2b is nonetheless much more spacious and rich in terms of funerary gifts, containing over 500 objects. Both tombs have been looted, as indicated by pottery joins from the two chambers. As a result metal objects are seriously underrepresented, including one gold earring, a few other crescent shaped silver earrings, and small objects of bronze. Tomb 2b contained a great variety vases, including White-Painted VI, Red Lustrous, White Slip I and II, and Base-Ring I ware. Bull shaped rhyta and askoi were also recorded, as well as some Mycenaean imports. The boat model is considered as the most outstanding and unusual offering in the tomb.
