Side view of a kotia ... Type:stretched canvasSide view of a kotia, a large double masted dhow (sailboat) from India, moored at Bahrain Island. In the central distance a kotia sits in choppy water, bow pointing to the right. In the distance beyond the kotia a vast empty ocean continues to the horizon below a lightly cloudy sky. Due to the nature of these images, prints will reproduce any signs of age, wear or damage that occurred before they were archived by the Pitt Rivers Museum.
