The square case lid overhangs the case sides and back and is attached to the back of the case with butt hinges (replaced). The lid is composed of a single central board flanked by framing boards along two sides. The boards are joined with tongue and groove construction. The case sides, front, and back are all panel framed. Stiles at each vertical edge of the case run from just beneath the case lid and rest on a square frame that serves as the case bottom. Each stile is rabbeted to rails or horizontal framing boards along the side, top, and bottom. The four boards of the bottom frame have mitered corners, are screwed to the undersides of the case sides, front, and bottom, and overhang the case, mimicking the overhang of the case lid. The case sits on four castors, each of which is attached with four screws through a square ferrous metal plate.  Within the interior of the case, a removable seat cover rests on top of a chamber pot set into a removable seat. The interior upper corners of the stiles are cut away to create flat surfaces on which the seat rests. Small copper-colored metal slides are nailed into the stiles, possibly to raise the height of the seat. The seat is formed from a single board with a hole cut in the center to support the chamber pot. The seat is broken from edge to edge along the grain and repaired with wooden boards screwed to the underside of the seat, perpendicular to the break. There are many upholstery tacks and staples on the underside of the seat, outlining the edges of the seat and the chamber pot opening. The Seat cover is constructed similarly to the case top with a large center board flanked by framing boards along two sides. The center board has large circle at center that aligns with chamber pot opening.  Based on the upholstery tacks and staples, it is possible that the seat and seat cover were originally reversed and the original seat cover, now the seat, had an upholstered upper surface. Textile fragments found along the top edge of the case back may support this theory. However, wear marks along the left and right edges of the current seat indicate that the current seat cover has been in use for some time."},{"label":"Date
