Wooden model figures were popular items left in the tomb. Very elaborate groups were sometimes made, depicting an entire princely household with its domain, workshops, and even its military personnel.

This model is a wooden boat with the bow in the shape of an animal's head. Four sailors are on board, two at the front and two at the back. The oars are missing. There are traces of a layer of plaster.
