Ship Carving, Husuni Kubwa, Kilwa Kisiwani

This is one of the early ship engravings in one of the rooms of Husuni Kubwa (Great Palace) in Kilwa Kiswani. This ship engraving was incised into the plaster of the internal wall of Husuni Kubwa certainly at the time when the palace was built during the 14th century AD. This engraving serves as a source of maritime information, particularly participation of residents of Kilwa Kisiwani in the ocean economy, notably boat building technology, navigation, and international trading activities via the Indian Ocean.
