Glaukos,
I love new challenges. That's the main reason I do this stuff. Not for profit, but for the pleasure. It's my break from my real job.

Do you know of any museum pieces at all, or do you have a type of diagram that you think it would look like with more detail?

Not quite clear on the "Photoshop" connections....

Mostly there are artistic representations. Apparently the regular chests in houses (used much like medieval chests to hold clothing and personal items) followed the same patter as the Larnax, a chest used as a coffin, only smaller.
These were represented as used to sit on as a bench as well, so they were probably sturdy enough. Most appear to have legs that extend to the top and bottom on the edges, (as opposed to attached to the bottom of the box) and had flat tops.

There are many references in the Odyssey and Iliad about the use of chests to keep clothing...

Does this help?

It looks like there are actually 2 different types of chests in your references. The 2 above seem to be some form of panel chest? 4 uprights with blind mortising and large central panels.

This one looks to be some version of a 6 board chest. Just out of curiosity, do you know if the greeks were fans of painting furniture like europe was later in the middle ages?

We don't see them, only you do, when you follow it.

That said: Fantastic work! I like the chairs, a lot.

My guess would be a cautious probably. Earlier ones were

Though one needs to separate between a chest and a chest shaped coffin. and the variations in time. I would guess that the clay versions are Skeuomorphic, i.e. they are made to represent in clay, items that were made out of wood in daily use. Even then, some of them retain enough features from the wooden originals that a skilled crafstman may recognize them even after thousands of years.

Pretty fauldstool. How much would one run?

Your handgonne, What kind of steel do you use?

[miscreant]

All steel parts on the handgonne were done by someone else. I just did the stock. Same for the crossbow.
