Coffer, Small

Container

10 gp 25 lbs Wood

A small coffer is a sturdy medieval storage chest, usually made from oak or another hard wood and reinforced with iron bands. It has a hinged lid, a simple lock or latch, and enough space for coins, jewelry, letters, seals, keys, or small valuables. Its corners are often worn smooth from handling, with scratches, darkened grain, and tarnished metal showing years of use.

The small coffers rough-hewn oak gleams dully under iron bands that cinch its sides like rusted veins, hinges creaking open to reveal a shadowed hollow just wide enough for a clutch of coins or folded parchments. Scratches mar its lid from countless fingers, while the latch—tarnished brass—hangs heavy, its keyhole a dark, inviting scar. Corners smoothed to silk by years of grasping hands whisper of secrets stowed and swiftly seized.
