Large chest, possibly a dowry chest, in carved, inlaid wood with its original iron fittings. Novo-Hispanic or viceregal workshop. Dated 1737. 74 x 106 x 53,5 cm. Authentic museum piece that is completely preserved in its original state, without restoration work. The iron fittings are of highly detailed and quality work. The meticulous and delicate work of marquetry in contrasted woods presents flowers, birds, monkeys, deer, lizards, and other native fauna. The facial expressions of the monkeys, which seem angry, are fascinating. Human figures, holding a vase in their hands from which birds emerge, decorate the sides.
