Hi,
It's an old Japanese chest (1921) where the front is all kiyaki wood (zelkova).
I bought it for $400 overseas in Iwakuni Japan, duty free, in 1990. Kind of silly to have such homemade stuff ($10 10g Walmart tank, etc) but I will be sexing it up a little and hope to post pics. The wood is richly grained in a burnt red-orange color that doesn't show in the pic. I try to be careful during WCs.
