This beautiful and functional vintage (perhaps from the 1950s) rustic trunk was created by the Berber people of Morocco. It is a pine box embellished with geometric motifs and accented with paint in shades of brown, brick red, ochre and cream. The back panel is bowed, see last photo, but the lid opens and closes fine.  The artisan who created this piece inscribed it, see last photo. 
Measures 24"H x 50.5"W x 15"D
It's long, low dimensions makes it perfect to use at the foot of a bed, under a window, or as a TV stand offering a Boho / eclectic accent to your home decor. Recently waxed... just buff with an old t-shirt to increase the glow.
Collected in Morocco in the late 1970s or early 1980s.
Condition commensurate with age and use. Random scratches in the wood as well as small splits with old wood fill. The top of the trunk is rustic with imperfections on the wood, see photos, more available upon request. The back panel is bowed, see last photo, however the lid is hinged and functions without a problem.
