Baronial court "stuff" chest

This is a project that I just pounded out for my first Baronial Court. The leather work is actually part of an old project that I never finished but figured I could give it new life in this project.

The trunk is a off the shelf "hobby" trunk that I stained. I also built and inserted wooden dividers to help organize the stuff inside.I left the dividers plain wood because I thought it looked nice, but perhaps it just make its look unfinished. I am not a woodworker or an artist, but it is at least functional.

 The leather work is tooled, the background dyed with leather dye, and the dragon painted. The leather dye has started to darken so the green and black does not stand out as much as it could. Partially because of the age of the project, but also because of the original green dye I was using at the time.
