The image shows a wooden chest with intricate carved designs on the front. The chest has three arched panels with radiating patterns. It is raised on four cabriole legs with ball and claw feet. The color scheme is primarily rich browns emphasizing the wood grain and carvings. The chest's top is slightly angled to the right and it is set against a plain, light background. Below the chest, the words "Alvin M. Gully - 1932" are inscribed.
