One side has Hand-Engraved Decorations of elliptical design, which appear to be of a "Folk Art" style often attributed to Pennsylvania. Some of the leather cover has naturally worn away, some minor wood loss at bottom with its original nails still intact.

A major piece of early Colonial America military style equipment with rare "Folk Art" style of Pennsylvania decorations that make it excellent for display.
