Large format carved oriental camphor wood chest.
A fine example intricately carved on 5 sides depicting various cultural stories.

This example is in excellent condition throughout with a pristine interior which includes a candle box. The original hinged bronze lock is present with its pin. 
The exterior has been freshly oiled ahead of sale. This piece will be supplied clean and ready for immediate use by the buyer.
A fabulous character piece with the versatility of generous storage. 
Highly recommended.
