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 at 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 gases from the hearth surround it completely.
Obreen provides no further details about the galley or De Coninck.1 NG-MC-576 is an identical model.
Scale unknown.
