Yeah, she's a byoot! And still pretty solid. Great minds think alike: if it ain't broke don't fix it. Nothing's inside except a reaaaaally beat up wooden tray/shelf thingie that lifts out. That might be worth restoring/recreating since its a separate piece and unadorned. What I really need is for Antigue Roadshow to swing through town! Hi Gary. Yeah, she’s a byoot!

What's in it? Since most restoration attempts end up lowering the value of antiques, unless the thing is close to collapsing under it's own weight I'd leave it alone. Those decorations at the ends of the "straps" look interesting, perhaps worth a little research as to potential meaning. They look like they support the story, Welsh or Gaelic or some such.
