A vintage folk art model of a three-masted sailing ship, identified by a plaque on the bow as the Helena. The vessel is meticulously constructed using matchsticks and small wooden strips, showcasing traditional folk art modelling techniques. The ship features intricate twine rigging, a prominent stern castle with latticed windows, and a decorative figurehead. The design is reminiscent of a 16th-century Ragusian galleon or carrack. It is mounted on a green felt-covered base and housed within a clear rectangular acrylic display case with a wooden frame.
