All indications suggest that this leather chest is a Peruvian work. During this vice-royalty, leather-covered furniture of great importance was crafted is awaiting study. This chest was made in the 18th Century. The decoration includes golden studs and scenes with ages from classical mythology. The irons are of good quality. With respect to the typology, the furniture follows the orthodox shape of Spanish chests with recessed lids. The most interesting aspect of this furniture is the oil painting displayed on the leather. This is predominantly a civil work for private enjoyment; perhaps it was placed in the bedroom of a male figure of notable social importance.

It should be noted that at some point, the top scene on the lid was intentionally censored, since it must have contained a age from classical mythology age featuring nudes. On the front of the chest there are two additional scenes, the one on the left possibly depicts the abduction of Helen by Paris, who leaves a breast exposed during the struggle. Fortunately, this image was not censored by the prudish mind that destroyed the top scene beyond repair. On the opposite side there is another mythology scene featuring Diana or Atlanta, Meleager and the Calydonian boar. These representations must have been taken from the woodcut prints of the Metamorphoses by poet Publio Ovidio Nason. This piece of furniture is of interest because of the mythological scenes and the barbaric censorship imposed on one of them. Red, pink and blue flower patterns complement the undulating decoration along the perimeters.
