Painted long boat with an orange domed canopy, horse-headed prow and red pennant, floating on blue water under a pale sky.

Four men row a long boat with a domed canopy, shaped as two horses in the front and a dragon's mouth at the back. Watercolour by an Indian artist.

A painted long boat with a domed orange canopy and a horse-headed prow glides across blue water beneath a pale sky. Oarsmen line the hull, a standing figure works an oar at the stern, and a red pennant flies from a tall mast.
