Rectangular wooden travel trunk covered in seal skin, designed to protect the contents from moisture and dampness. The trunk has a slightly domed lid and is reinforced with iron bands and nails across the edges and corners. It features iron side handles and a metal lock plate on the front (with remnants of a blue-painted hasp). The interior is painted blue and shows evidence of age and wear, including chipping and water stains.
This type of trunk would have been used for travel or long-term storage in coastal or maritime environments, where protection from humidity and salt air was important.
