This box, used for clothes, is very roughly made. The poor quality wood used in its construction has been concealed by a sizeable quantity of filler.

The framework is of a dark-grained timber that was left unpainted, while the panels are finished with red paint.

The handles are painted black and are engraved with cartouches of the king. These cartouches are filled with yellow pigment.
