The altar's surface is adorned with rolled and chased sheet copper, gilded bronze casting, and intricate reliefs. The central focus of the altar is the crucifix, which features a depiction of the child Christ on the cross, surrounded by various iconographical elements. The altar's retable and arched structure add an additional layer of intrigue and beauty.

The arched structure, which frames the altar, adds a sense of grandeur and importance to the piece. The Golden Altar from Lisbjerg Church is a testament to the rich history of Christianity in Denmark and Scandinavia during the Middle Ages.
