Description

New Mexico-Inspired Poetic Chest with Hand-Painted Motifs — Signed LCK

This handcrafted wooden chest draws inspiration from the landscapes and cultural heritage of New Mexico, featuring vibrant hand-painted motifs and a poetic inscription that evokes the spirit of the Southwest. The light maple wood exterior is adorned with earthy tones of black, rust, and turquoise, showcasing geometric patterns and stylized imagery reminiscent of Native American and Western art. A rich cherry wood lid with maple inlay strips adds warmth and character, while dovetail joints and elevated legs enhance its rustic elegance.

Inside the lid, a hand-inscribed poem, signed with the initials "LCK," reflects a reverence for nature and the beauty of the western sky:

I stand and watch
the western sky:
an azure bed,
pillow clouds rise high.
Then rain bird comes
with great dark wings,
my heart sings thanks
for gifts he brings.

This spacious chest offers ample storage for blankets, keepsakes, or decorative items, making it both a functional and artistic statement piece for any home.

Condition:
In excellent condition, with minimal signs of wear. The hand-painted artwork and wood finish are well-preserved.

Dimensions:
Overall: 24" (Height) x 38" (Width) x 15 1/2" (Depth)
