pirate chest

Swashbuckler's treasure box

A pirate chest is a wooden trunk associated with buried treasure in pirate stories—typically iron-bound with a domed lid, filled with gold coins and jewels.

The image comes more from fiction than history: X marks the spot where the pirate chest is buried.

Children's costume sets and decorations often include miniature pirate chests as props.
