Wheeled figurine of a warship from the south-of-rampart zone at Salamis, square K VI/γ4 (west), made of pink fabric with a white-beige slip and traces of red paint. The figurine is incomplete: the rear half of the boat is missing, the left bulwark is broken, and some attached elements are broken or lost; it has a shield and perhaps other additions, with partly solid and partly hollow modelling, and a horizontal hole pierced through the keel for the axle that carried the wheels, with H. at the prow 10 cm and preserved L. 15 cm. Inventory Tc_1907; 4 September 1969.
