label: Description
content: Life in the Spanish northern frontier was harsh. Many made due with what they had. This pine trunk, ca. 1800 and leather travel trunk from New Mexico, are typical examples of everyday household objects made by local craftsmen. Trade markets were very limited and infrequent until 1821 when trade opened up to the US.
