This unique 19th-century primitive crafted softwood miniature dower chest features a dovetailed construction and unusual orange ochre tone. The decorative black paint highlights two tombstone arches and a compass star design on the center of the lid. Measuring 15″ x 9 1/4″ x 8″, this piece showcases some wear, including an altered hinge point and damage to the left rear hinge along with extensive wear to the paint, reflecting its storied past.
