Casket in the shape of parallelepiped, with cover of two slopes, crowned by a cresting. With wooden covered of gilded copper plaques and enameled decoration, that is ornamental in the back (with stylized floral elements figurated in the two plates of the obverse (The Three Marys at the Tomb and a scene of difficult identification, perhaps the coronation of a martyr saint) and the two of the lateral (with two images of saint, without specific attributes). How it is usual in Limousin works, the bottoms are enameled, with predominance of blue and with circular decorative elements, whereas the figurative elements remain in reserve.
