246: A small gold slue ?

A sluice, you mean? I don't think it is...at first glance, it might
be some sort of dry-washer, but when you look at the additional
pictures it's clear it has a bunch of drawers underneath, and I can't
see how that be useful to a dry-washer (or a grain winnowing tool,
etc).

My guess is it's some sort of artists traveling rig, a combination
of a folding easel and tacklebox for paints, brushes, etc.
