Slender crescentic hull. The gunwale is uneven. The stempost is vertical, ending in an outward facing zoomorphic head device. The sternpost is straight and slightly inward slanting. The stempost and sternpost each rise 3.5 cm and 3 cm respectively above the gunwale. The outside of the model has painted decoration composed of horizontal black and red stripes c. 0.2 cm wide. Following the curve of the ship at the bottom of the hull is an irregular black stripe. Above it following the gunwale and crossing the stems is a red stripe. The stems are decorated with three pairs of horizontal bands - starting with red, black, red from top to bottom. The lowest red band is connected to that running along the gunwale, forming a continuous line between the stem. Westerberg notes that at the base of the sternpost there is a small pinching by the maker. It is possible that this represents a cutwater. Note that this feature is very obvious on the photo but not on the drawing.
