Chest

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a wooden chest titled "Chest". The chest is rectangular with a flat top and four legs. It has a reddish-brown color and appears to be made of wood. There are three panels on the front, each with a carved design. The designs are symmetrical and feature curved lines and shapes. A small keyhole is visible at the top center of the chest. The background of the image is white, suggesting that it may be a product photo or a museum exhibit. The chest appears to be old and worn, with some scratches and marks on its surface.
