The censer is decorated with relief representations of Christ, St. Peter, the Virgin Mary, and St. Paul (?) in tondi. Between the tondi are stylized floral motifs. Below the mouth is a collar with two rows of incised diagonals, each running in a different direction. Three suspension loops are preserved, one only partially, as well as 4 1/2 links of one length of twisted S chain.
