About this work
Model of Porter's stock anchor. The arms rotate around an axis in the forked end of the shank; the angle of the arms is smaller than usual and the flukes are equipped with a horn on the outside. The anchor stock can be slid through the hole in the shank and parallel to the shank. At the end of the shank is a harp, at the cross a chain, and around the shank a double shackle. Scale 1:10 (estimate).
