A Kuwaiti chest is a large wooden chest, usually having been made in India, and covered in various brass studs and designs. It was primarily used by a captain of Arabian dhows for their personal possessions.
Famous quotes containing the word chest:
“Are you there, Africa with the bulging chest and oblong thigh? Sulking Africa, wrought of iron, in the fire, Africa of the millions of royal slaves, deported Africa, drifting continent, are you there? Slowly you vanish, you withdraw into the past, into the tales of castaways, colonial museums, the works of scholars.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
