Historique
La croix est scellée sur une colonne monolithe à mouluration classique, elle-même placée sur un soubassement rectangulaire à trois emmarchements entourés de stèles discoïdales. La croix possède deux branches. Le Christ surmonté de l'inscription "INRI" est figuré en bas-relief d'une façon schématique sur l'une des faces. Une Vierge à l'Enfant est sculptée au revers. Elle est entourée d'une sorte de mandorle aplatie, encadrée de trois étoiles.

History
The cross is sealed on a monolithic column with classical moulding, itself placed on a rectangular base with three steps surrounded by discoid steles. The cross has two arms. The Christ surmounted by the inscription "INRI" is represented in low relief in a schematic manner on one of the faces. A Virgin and Child is sculptured on the reverse. It is surrounded by a kind of flattened mandorla, framed by three stars.
