The whole cabinet is ebony veneered with turtle inserts engraved with pewter and brass.

Four monumental brass and bronze columns, resting and ending with bronze capitals divide the architecture of the item. Brass covered top edge. Under the top, a frame with subsequent bronze leaves, with the central door frame and those between the columns, increases the contrast of gold with the ebony of the brass threads. In the plinths of the base under which the feet stand, the golden bronze lion heads are housed. Six turned feet with golden bronze collar hold it all. Double chiseled and golden bronze door locks, inside red velvet. The key features a chiseled handle with the patron's coat of arms, quadripartite coat of arms with two lions and two squares with diamonds, surmounted by an imperial crown recognizable in the heraldry of the elector of Bavaria.
