Made of carved and gilded wood, our Italian chasse, resting on four lion paw feet, is glazed on three sides. It is topped with three fire pots.
The ensemble mainly houses notable ex-ossibus relics of Saint Vitalis who has an independent niche but also of Saint Fortuna and Réparate, Martyrs of the first centuries.
We also discover more modest but clearly visible relics of 21 other Saints, among whom we find: Celestine, Casti, Amani, Désideni, but also Saint Laurent, Innocent, Déodati, Prosperi, Donati, Victoir, Vincent, Vénérandi, Préciosi, Gaudeti, Dilecti and Constant.

Between the oval medallions of the main face is a Sacred Heart in gilded wood. Behind this ornate construction we can make out a few bones that complete this chasse.
On the back and under the reliquaries are wax seals authenticating the relics offered for devotion.
