Since the 19th century in the interior of a peasant hut, chests spread around the wall or in the corner spread. The chest was used to store clothes and linen, household items or any valuable items. The dowry for the future bride, which began to be collected long before the wedding, was carefully folded into the chest. Along with this "wealth" girl after the wedding moved to her husband's house. The chest in the museum's exposition is a wooden box, bound with metal brackets, with a hinged lid and fasteners for a lock. This type of furniture could also play the role of a table, bench and even a bed. Chests with various patterns and carvings painted on them decorated and complemented the interior.
