This container keeps meat fresh and wholesome. Angriz Ulbargix is a half-dragon wizard, a gourmet cook, and a voracious carnivore. His monstrous nature makes it difficult for him to shop for food frequently in the normal fashion, so he crafted this box to keep large quantities of meat indefinitely. In this way, he could order an entire haunch of game once in a while and consume it at his leisure. The item has since become popular with those who can afford it, especially the proprietors of large eating establishments and the managers of nobles' kitchens. It has come to be known as Angriz's chest, though its creator simply called it a "preserving box." (Knowledge (arcana) DC 20)
An Angriz's chest is a box, about 4 feet on a side, made of stout wood (usually oak) and lined with oilcloth to prevent leakage. Any dead flesh kept within the box remains fresh and palatable indefinitely. Once removed, the flesh begins to decay at the normal rate. Putting partly decayed meat into the box arrests further rot but does not reverse previous effects.
