A 18th century dowry chest most likely from the Nuristan region of Afghanistan, although possibly from the swat valley, made from solid cedar wood and intricately carved in the local style. Construction is all wooden peg, with the only metal work being the very basic ring and nail bracket on the top, there would have been a second one of these originally but it is missing. The chest is very well made, sturdy and strong, and could be used for a variety of purpose, but simply as a decorative feature, it looks wonderful.

Any questions just ask, delivery is available.
