The guild treasury was of practical importance - the guild members deposited money collected as compulsory fees from the craftsmen associated in the guild, as well as important documents such as articules, privileges or other regulations. The treasury was also of symbolic significance during guild meetings held usually four times a year. The guild meeting was opened by opening the treasury, i.e. by lifting its lid. Without the opening of the treasury, the business discussed would have no validity. The agenda was fixed (collection of dues, reading of the charter, current agenda, common activities of the guild, settlement of disputes between members) and the end of the meeting was confirmed by the closing of the treasury.

Wooden statue from 1822. The patron saints of the shoemakers, the brothers Crispin and Crispinian, came from Rome and spread Christianity in northern France in the 3rd century. They practised the shoemaker's trade as a convenient source of livelihood with the possibility of abundant human contact. When persecuted by Christians, they did not recant their faith, preferring instead to be martyred.
