You can see carvings in the wood.

The pinisi or phinisi is a traditional Indonesian wooden sailing ship, mostly built by the master shipbuilders of Ara, a village in South Sulawesi.

Now most of them are motorized, and they are still used widely by the Buginese and Makassarese, mostly for inter-insular transportation, cargo and fishing purposes within Indonesian archipelago.
