Side view of a kotia ... Frame:goldSide view of a kotia, a large double masted dhow (sailboat) from India, moored at Bahrain Island. In the central distance a kotia sits in choppy water, its bow pointing to the right. Behind the kotia its rowboat bobs on the water. In the distance a few dhows are moored in the far background. 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.
