Bishop of Lausanne. The coffin is small because it only contains some assorted vertebrae, pelvic bones, etc. The rest of St. Boniface is divided up amongst some other churches in Brussels, notably Notre Dame de la Cambre. Apparently he was originally buried in ND de la Cambre entirely, but during the religious wars of the 17th century he was dug up and his bones were split up.
