"The skill of woodcarving in the 17th and 18th centuries was well-developed in NE Scotland, although perhaps not sufficiently appreciated because the intractability of the local granite can suggest that carving in general was unaccomplished. Wooden furniture was often carved. This small panel comes from the chest which was made to hold the Inverurie Burgh Charter, given by Queen Mary in the 16th century. The letters carved in a central circular panel are 'C L A B'. This is surrounded by carved relief flowers, leaves and scrolls. The carving is in the typical Aberdeenshire style of the first half of the 17th century and dates from between 1640 and 1660."
