Beautiful slatted coffer made by and for shepherds in the Carpathian Mountains region of Eastern Europe. Traces of original paint left across the entire body of the coffer, featuring incredible folk carving across the front. This carving is thought to be apotropaic in nature, to ward evil spirits off. Incredible in its simplicity, evocative in its aesthetic, these mountain made coffers are entirely intriguing.
