Pyramid Graffiti: Objects — Boats
Graffito P10. Object – Boat, Type 3
On the lowest course, north of the chapel, is a completely linear boat of type 3. The hull is almost flat and bends up at the long, angled prow and at the stern. Both the prow and stern are straight. A single short line extends backward from the stern, making a crutch. The rudder is curved but clearly related to the triangular rudders seen elsewhere, and the line defining it continues across the hull as an exaggerated tiller. There is a simple square cabin amidships. An incomplete vertical forward of the cabin is possibly a mast and the long horizontal above it probably a yard.
