This chest is an extension of old Sher'tul places of power. Any items dropped inside are transported to an other place, processed and destroyed to extract energy.
The byproduct of this effect is the creation of gold, which is useless to process, so it is sent back to you.

Simply go to your inventory to move them out of the chest if you wish to keep them.
Items in the chest will not encumber you.
