On the top functioning hinged lid is another Coat of Arts with lions holdings a crest with a fleur-de-lis, sword, keys and a cross. In good vintage condition. Some patina color variation from age. 

This is an ornate metal box, made of brass, decorated using the repoussé technique (hammering the design from the reverse side). Its exact origin and history are tied to the identification of the family or institution represented by the heraldry.
