Esta arqueta está recubierta con escenas de la corte de Arturo y otros relatos caballerescos. En la tapa aparece el asalto al metafórico Castillo del Amor, un torneo y caballeros arrojando rosas. La placa frontal presenta dos conmovedoras escenas de la tragedia de Píramo y Tisbe (derecha); una de Aristóteles instruyendo a Alejandro el Grande y dos de Filis a lomos de Aristóteles (izquierda). En los laterales, Tristán e Isolda; un cazador matando a un unicornio; un caballero rescatando a una dama; y Galaad recibiendo la llave del castillo. En la placa posterior hay escenas con Lanzarote y Galván, y unas doncellas que saludan a su salvador.
