Side view of a kotia ... Portraits of notable peopleSide view of a kotia, a large double masted dhow (sailboat) from India, moored at Bahrain Island. A kotia sits in choppy water, its bow pointing towards the right. The kotia has a steeply inclined transom stern. In the distance beyond the kotia a vast empty ocean continues to the far horizon. Due to the nature of these images, prints will reproduce any signs of age, wear or damage that occurred before they were archived by the Pitt Rivers Museum.
