The lid sports the most spectacular decoration, in which a secondary motif of intertwining scrolls frames two rectangular compositions; the most external one depicts charming scrolling flowers which spring from a vase and spread over the surface. The inner composition depicts the birth of the Christ, in His cradle and surrounded by the Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, and the donkey, incised, as if it is in the background. An angel sitting on a cloud holds a banner in which it reads “Gloria in excelsis”. The title of the scene, in Italian, is registered as “La nativita”.
