Historique
Autel composé d'un gradin et deux consoles qui appuyent le motif central composé d'une niche décorée d'une coquille. Le fût circulaire de la croix a sa base sur cette niche. Situé à la croisée de chemins, adossé à un champ, cet autel pourrait rappeler la tradition de la bénédiction des Récoltes qui se tenait le 25 avril.

History
Altar composed of a step and two consoles supporting the central motif composed of a niche decorated with a shell. The circular shaft of the cross has its base on this niche. Situated at the crossroads of paths, leaning against a field, this altar could recall the tradition of the blessing of Harvests which took place on 25 April.
