This is a drawing of a detailed plan for constructing an oak chest. The drawing includes precise measurements and multiple views of the chest, including the front, side, and top perspectives. The front view showcases geometrical and symmetrical designs, including star-like shapes and rectangular patterns, while the side view highlights the structure's lines. The top view outlines the dimensions of the lid, and the annotations indicate the use of wooden pegs for the cover hinges. This technical drawing is labeled with measurements, notes on construction, and is associated with the Brooklyn Museum.
