Fragmentary model with a flat hull, flat gunwale, and a vertical stempost. Directly behind the stempost there is a transverse beam placed on top of the gunwale that protrudes slightly outside the hull on either side. There are horizontal bands on either side of the hull below the gunwale in black and red paint. Karageorghis claims that the model has a ram (?).

Tomb 210 was pillaged and reused multiple times. It is dated to the Cypro-Archaic, with later Hellenistic and Roman reuse. The chamber is oriented NO/SE, with a trapezoidal pit carved longitudinally in the center of the chamber. The stomion opens on the left side. The leftover material was found dispersed in the East zone of the chamber and the pit. The boat model comes from the east zone. In addition to pottery, among some of the finds are two silver earrings, a faience bead, two bronze mirrors, a bronze ring, and an iron strigil.
