Typical Navarrese cross with straight arms. A Christ, of which the head and feet are no longer visible, is engraved on one of the faces. An ostensory decorated with two swastikas and two five-pointed stars adorns the reverse. The rectangular shaft is slightly bulging towards the top. The cross rests on a pedestal with three steps.
