Model boat with figures and paddles. Boat (part a) is long and thin, narrowing toward ends, wider at midpoint. A black whale is painted on both sides of each end at the waterline. Bow is slightly taller than stern, with a protruding red piece at front. 11 benches span the width of the boat’s interior, each with a single figure seated upon it. One figure on a bench is separated from the boat (part b). Figures are painted with black hair, eyes and brows, most with green shirts, two with no shirt but green pants. Each holds a small loose paddle (parts c to l) balanced in their upheld hands. Paddles are painted with a green tip, dot and band.
