Large European domed trunk constructed from solid softwood, reinforced with extensive hand-forged iron straps, hinges, corner mounts, and side carrying handles. The trunk features a domed lid, central iron lock plate, and decorative Baroque-influenced wrought ironwork throughout. The front is decorated with later painted heraldic panels bearing initials and the date 1751, likely commemorative rather than indicative of manufacture. Later bun feet were added for domestic use. Surface wear, age cracks, and oxidation to the iron are consistent with age and use.
