Entry
Model of a ship’s galley, painted black.
The model has a square structure with a hearth at the front and a chimney at the back. Two containers, one of which has two compartments, are hung in the galley. They have circular openings in the top. A separate compartment, into which a grating can be inserted from an entrance in the side, is built inside the hearth in such a way that the hot gasses from the hearth surround it completely.
Obreen provides no further details about the galley or De Coninck.1 The catalogue number on the model refers to a model of a still, but the model proved to be identical to model NG-MC-574.
Scale unknown.
