Korean Mini Bandaji Chest

This is a small, decorative storage chest or jewelry box crafted in the style of a traditional Korean Bandaji (half-hinged chest). The item features a robust dark wood construction, possibly rosewood or stained elm, with a distinctive pyramidal or hipped roof lid. It is heavily ornamented with aged brass or bronze hardware plates, typically referred to as 'jangseok'. These metal fittings cover the corners and the front latch mechanism, secured with numerous small visible nails. The front face is dominated by a vertical latch and a central floral-shaped boss (likely a lock plate or purely decorative element), flanked by two circular metal bosses that resemble eyes, giving the chest an anthropomorphic quality. The metal surfaces exhibit a significant aged patina with dark oxidation and verdigris spots, indicating various levels of exposure. The wooden surface shows a coarse grain and minor surface abrasions consistent with mid-20th-century vintage production. A metal ring is attached to the apex of the lid for lifting. The piece rests on four integrated bracket-style feet. Based on the construction and metalwork, this appears to be a 20th-century souvenir or decorative adaptation of Choson dynasty furniture styles.
