介绍（中）	一个椭圆形的盒子。盖子上的场景显示了巴兰的历史，他骑在自己的屁股上，与拔剑的天使对峙。巴兰的两个仆人跟在驴后面。民数记22:22-24描述了天使对巴兰驴的样子。这一场景的两侧是叶卷和两个圆形的边框，上面写着：Wie staat niet voorbaas voorwondert in den geest/als hij van beliam en van sijn esel leest（当他读到巴兰和他的屁股时，他并不惊讶和惊讶）下面是田园风光，农舍外有一对夫妇，前景是一位斜倚的妇女，还有一头公牛和一头狮子。在这一场景两侧的两个圆圈中刻着：Hij die een aarts bevel sorgvuldig hat geert/en god sijn heer den nek hartnekkig toegekeert（他认真遵守了尘世的命令，并一直背对上帝他的主）。现场的意义尚不清楚；也许它反映了巴兰的故事。民数记23:1-5描述了巴兰献公牛、公羊和公牛轮辋内衬，边缘模压。盒子的圆形末端显示由正方形和十字组成的装饰。正面和背面都有使徒和福音传道者的形象，每个人的侧面都有自己的名字。前排从左到右依次为：佩特鲁斯（彼得）、扎卡蒂乌斯（撒迦利亚）、乔安妮（约翰）、马基斯（马克）、菲利普（菲利普）和托马斯（托马斯）。背面的名字包括卢卡斯（卢克）和马特奥（马修）；其他四个磨损严重，无法破译盖子内侧有一个小夹子，可以通过它滑动管道清洁器。
介绍（英）	An oval box. The scene on the lid shows the history of Balaam, who rides on his ass and is confronted by the angel with drawn sword. Two of Balaam's servants follow behind the ass. The angel's appearance to Balaam's ass is described in Numbers 22:22-24. The scene is framed at the sides by leaf scrolls and by two roundels which are inscribed: Wie staat niet voorbaas voorwondert in den geest/ als hij van beliam en van sijn esel leest (Who is not surprised and astonished in his mind / when he reads of Balaam and his ass). The underside shows a pastoral scene with a couple outside a farmhouse, a reclining woman in the foreground, an ox, and a lion. Inscribed in the two roundels flanking this scene is: Hij die een aarts bevel sorgvuldig hat geert / en god sijn heer den nek hartnekkig toegekeert (He who had carefully honored an earthly order/ and who had persistently turned his back on God his Lord). The significance of the scene is unclear; perhaps it reflects the story of Balaam. Numbers 23: 1-5 describes Balaam's offering of bullocks, rams, and oxen. Rims are lined and edges molded. The rounded ends of the box show decoration consisting of squares and crosses. The front and back sides carry the images of apostles and evangelists, each one flanked by his name. From left to right on the front side: Petrus (Peter), Zacatius (Zacharias), Joannes (John), Markis (Mark), Philipus (Philip), and Tomas (Thomas). The names on the back side include Lucas (Luke) and Matteo (Matthew); the other four are too badly worn to be deciphered. Attached to the inside of the cover is a small clasp through which a pipe cleaner could be slid.
