Graffiti of Boat

Islamic Society. Nasrid

Fragment of a stucco frieze with graffiti of two boats aligned in the same descriptive plane. The first one of them, of great size, takes form with a great number of details; unfurled sails, masts, four flags in the stem, and inserted crosses in the shape of cross. The other drawing that appears in the back part, represents a smaller boat and without many added details, might be identified as a small auxiliary or fishing boat.
