Northern Europe carved oak chest on frame, most likely used in a church.  The molded rectangular lid with three panels, the chest with scrolling foliate freeze with Christogram IHS to the center, above four carved panels representing the life of Christ, including the Annunciation, His birth, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection—the sides with foliate relief carved panels, wrought iron handles, and the date ANNO 1591. The interior is fitted with a till on the left side. The chest rests on a relief carved frame with bracket feet and a central skirt with a carved lamb. 37 1/2" H x 72 1/2" W x 31 1/8" D. 16th century with later added elements.

Possibly a "constructed" piece consisting of different period elements. Base appears to be a 19th-century or earlier replacement.  Top appears to be an 18th-century replacement or earlier. Wear noted to lower base molding edges. Wear with loss of some finish to dividers of the side panels, with a couple of the dividers possibly being old replacements. Strap hinges appear later with contemporary screws. Metal reinforcing brackets added to the back, and underside with later blocking and screws. The top has been waxed.
