Ghost of missing columns.

The underside of the 'ears' at the front corners of the top show that columns once stood at the front corners of the chest. The columns were 'engaged', having a flat cut on the back. They were attached to the front corners with hidden 3/8 inch dowel pins, the remnants of which remain. They likely rested on a 'stool' with ears or a deeper base, but that's missing too.
