Terracotta model of a boat

Cypriot

Not on view

In its simplicity, this piece conveys the fragility of ancient vessels in relation to the vastness and power of the sea, which was a source of food and livelihood for traders. It was a barrier and, simultaneously, a link for an island like Cyprus. Such boats were used by ordinary people.
