Wasa bow decorations / figurehead

[Njord]

In all plans and pictures I could find on the Wasa, it can be seen that the ship had some bow decorations or figurehead. Why was decided against adding it, when the model was created?

Regarding the boats it was decided to not show the boats because during a fight they would be in the water and not on deck. That was during an early early stage of the game.

I guess it is also to reduce the polygon count of the 3d models and speed up their making.
