A vintage handcrafted wooden model depicting a passenger and vehicle ferry, identified by its specific configuration and livery as the MV Cowal or a similar vessel from the Caledonian Macbrayne fleet. The hull is constructed from wood with a hand-painted three-tone finish comprising a red lower hull below the waterline, a black mid-section, and white upper decks. The model features a single grey funnel, simplified bridge and deck structures, and painted port-hole details. It includes representations of the side-loading car ramps characteristic of this class of vessel, rendered as white-painted recessed sections. The construction and finish suggest it is a scratch-built or folk art piece, likely produced as a hobbyist project during the mid-20th century.

Dimensions: 29” Long
