The front shows the murder of St Martial who was one of the patron saints of Limoges, and the ends with figures of saints standing between roundels. Both the back of the chasse and of the lid show enamelled roundel decoration, while the front of the lid shows Christ in Majesty in a circle flanked by angels.
