Chinese Junk - Dark Wood Finish - 70 cm

HISTORY - A Junk is a Chinese sailboat design dating from ancient times and still in use today.  Junks were developed during the Han Dynasty (220 BC200 AD) and were used as ocean-going vessels as early as the 2nd century AD.  They evolved in the later dynasties, and were built and used throughout Asia for extensive ocean voyages.  They were found, and in lesser numbers are still found, throughout Stouth-East Asia and India, but primarily in China, perhaps today most famously in Hong Kong. 

Note: Our manufacturer's craftsmen always choose the colour of the wood used in the models to be consistent.  However, the natural color of the wood used may not match 100% with the colours shown in the attached photographs.
