Carvings tell a story
Top of the chest shows three old men standing outside, under a flowering tree, with a child.
Front of the chest shows possibly two scenes as the centre figure is repeated. The scene on the left shows one figure reaching towards the other two figures. The second scene shows a figure holding a scroll out to an old man.
