A characterful Japanese tansu chest, traditionally used for storing important papers, records, and personal documents. Pieces like this were often found in merchant or household settings, where they held anything from account books to contracts and letters tied to a family’s livelihood.

A powerful Cameroon ceremonial helmet mask carved from a single block of dense hardwood. The weight alone tells its story.
