Entry
Model of a windsail.
The top section consist of a hoop covered with cloth and an entrance for fresh air.
The model was found without a catalogue number and its identification remains uncertain. In the transfer papers only a ‘windsail’ is mentioned. It is very similar to two other models of windsails (NG-MC-570 and NG-MC-1231), but it looks rather incomplete.
