Rowing Boat models of Tutankhamun
Model Size (Scale)
All authenticated replicas are produced at 1:1 scale of the original piece
A unique type featuring a longitudinal cleft in the stern to seat a single steering paddle. The 35 wooden model boats found in Tutankhamun's tomb are important in that they represent the last large group of model boats which has survived from Ancient Egypt and are the only complete group to have survived from the 18th Dynasty. They are, therefore, our main evidence 'in the round' for vessels of that period. They supplement the information provided by reliefs and paintings and supply important information on many aspects of Ancient Egyptian boat design and development of the period.
