The ship does not look even remotely ancient.  A modern tourist fake.

SC:
It appears to have been struck from two hand-carved dies. A fair bit of work on what is obviously a fantasy piece.

It might have been some sort of experimental archaeology piece or piece meant for, or sold at, re-enecatment events.

Just guessing.
