Two decorative wooden sailing-ship models with painted hulls, fabric sails, slender masts and string rigging. The larger represents the Santa Maria and features bold red, blue and black hull details, painted crosses and imagery on its sails, and a black wooden display stand. The smaller vessel follows a similar style and rests on a rectangular base. The larger model is stamped ‘Made in Germany–U.S. Zone’, indicating a postwar occupation-era marking. Both models show wear and discoloration, with loose or slack rigging visible. The larger measures approximately 23 inches long by 4 inches wide by 18.5 inches high.
