Midship section of a flat-bottomed hull. The keel and ribs are indicated on the inside in red paint. Further red paint on the outside of hull along the port side and starboard sidein the form of two wide parallel red stripes. Two holes on both sides near the flat bottom, one aft and one fore, probably used to fasten wheels using wooden or metal bars. Dakoronia interprets this model as a toy, which is further supported by a clay wheel which was found near the model.
