The image shows an old wooden chest displayed in a glass case. The chest appears to be made of wood and has a weathered and aged appearance. It is rectangular in shape with a flat top and a flat bottom. The lid of the chest is slightly open, revealing the contents inside. On the right side of the image, there is a plaque on the wall that reads "A History of the British Museum, London, England". The plaque is white with black text and is located in the corner of the room. The room is dimly lit, with a small window visible in the background.
