Shape of a horizontal prism. The sides are decorated with multi-framed panels, showing a running dog motif and a garland of red and white flowers and a bird. The top is decorated with a painted scene: Judith stands in front of a castle wall, among trees and bushes, holding the head of Holofernes in her left hand and her sword in her right. The scene is surmounted by an inscription "Judith" in an oval field, and by the date 1558.
