Swat And Nuristan Flight Chest

Some call it a dowry chest, other treasure chests or even a salt chest... Made in an ancestral way in oriental cedar, this elegant chest with sliding door bears witness to the know-how of these Afghan peoples who survive in the deserts. rocky, with a harsh climate, among other things in the Swat valley.... You know this region where there are never any visitors, especially since Commander Massoud is no longer there and this whole valley, dark in the oblivion, with its inhabitants, its villages, its history. This handsomely proportioned chest may have contained tea, salt, the lady's jewelry or some miracle cure. Its proportions are magnificent, the decorations of great finesse. It can certainly date from the 18th century. Very rare item for sale.
