DescriptionCuboid wooden trunk with metal straps. There are three metal clasps on the front side with one circular example in the center and two on each side. On each of the left and right sides is a leather handle connected to metal holdings. Two horizontal lines of wood go around the middle and lower part of the whole trunk and straps are over the top side and have become disconnected from the wood. Each corner on the top and bottom has a metal curved hinge and cover. Along the sides and corners are nails with metal covers. Inside are two sections of storage. The first are two pieces of thin wood at the top that have a floral blue and white geometric design throughout. Below is a larger section with wooden dividing drawers containing the same floral pattern.
