The box is oblong, its ends elaborately curved. The lid and underside each have a central brass cartouche similar in shape to the box. The cartouche on the lid illustrates Christ's resurrection. An angel is lifting the cover of the sepulcher, while a man looks on. The cartouche is framed by leaf scrolls and the following inscription: Kristus / opstandige (Christ / resurrected).
The underside has a much-effaced Noli me tangere scene. Inscribed: Kristus vertoont./hem aen mariea (Christ appears/to Mary).
With lined rims and molded edges. The front and back sides are decorated with running animals. The shaped ends have engraved line decoration.
