The front is divided into two symmetrical bodies, separated by a central column richly carved with floral motifs. Each side has three large drawers decorated with moldings of leaves, flowers and scrolls in high relief.
The corners are finished with flat columns decorated in the same style, and the entire structure rests on a stepped base with projecting moldings.
The upper lid, with a sinuous shape, is painted in imitation marbled marble in pink and terracotta tones, providing a sophisticated contrast to the exuberance of the gold.
The complex stands out for its craftsmanship, its monumentality and its ornamental character, evoking pieces typical of sacristies or palatial halls. See less
