Important Antique Museum Quality Equestrian Leather Clad Painted Chest on Stand

This antique chest is unique and beautiful, likely handmade in the Nuristan province of northeast Afghanistan. We estimate it to be crafted in the late 19th to early 20th century. It was built from wood using traditional wedged mortise and tenon joinery, indicating its origin. The front panel is richly adorned with hand-chiseled tribal motifs of stars and flowers.
