Mysterious small boat
Published Wednesday 25 March 2009, by Saskia van Bergen

This autumn Museum Valkhof in Nijmegen will host an exhibition on the 15th century book of hours of Catherine of Cleves (http://www.museumhetvalkhof.nl/cont...).

For a publication on this manuscript, I studied one of the bas-de-pages with a scene of a man catching or collecting fish with a net. I am trying to find out what the small boat ( ?) in the middle of the pond is and how it was used. I guess it’s a container for bait, but I can’t find any proof for it.

I hope someone has seen this object before and can tell me what exactly it is.
