强壮的胸部 - 木材、铁 - 印度 - 不列顛東印度公司(1600 – 1858)

FR : 民间艺术品与高奇珍物

一只来自印度、 XVIII 世纪的木质宝藏大箱，木质密度高，风格宏伟。

- 原产地：印度（拉贾斯坦地区）
- 物件类型：便携宝藏箱（Malat / Pitara）
- 材料：高密度热带木材 + 手工锻铁带铠甲般的重型防护

尺寸：高 22.5 cm | 宽 31 cm | 深 20.5 cm
- 重量：2900 克（证明金属厚度与木材密度）

真实性特征：
* 原始结构均匀一致：箱体主体、防锢铁带以及大号凸头铆钉，均为18世纪的原生与正品。
* 盖子固定件分析：背部的铁铰原装。值得收藏的独特特征：由于当时操作使用磨损，盖子上部连接件在19世纪英属印度公司殖民时期曾经进行过一次功能性修复（用三颗同时期的螺丝固定），此修复保持了历史痕迹，体现其长期使用状态。
此种“原汁原味”的干预，见证了其长期活跃使用。
* 收藏家细节：盖内唯一的古老分类标签仍然贴附。
前侧锁铰链（用于传统挂锁的铁锁舌/锁扣）为原装。
* 出处声望：Sophie Lescot 收藏 - Le Bateau de Safran（巴黎，2006 年购入）。
