Description
Hand-crafted, unique folk art model of an early 20th-century battleship, reflecting pre-dreadnought or early dreadnought design elements. The vessel features a carved wood hull with a painted finish of gray over a black waterline and red lower section. The mustard tan deck is detailed with multiple gun turrets, including primary dual-gun batteries and smaller secondary positions. Fittings are constructed from mixed media, including metal wire for railings and small pins for stanchions. The superstructure consists of two cylindrical metal funnels, simplified masts, and various deck houses. The stern is equipped with a single metal propeller and a fixed rudder. The model is presented in a custom-built, gray-painted wooden display case featuring a sliding glass front panel and internal black-painted wooden supports. No maker marks, labels, or signatures are present. 49x72
