In this slab are cut the arms of the cross and, between them, indented lines tangent to the sides of the diamond. On one face is the Christ on the cross; on the other the Virgin and Child with two small angels. Between the head and the shaft is a rectangular part, which is decorated, on its four faces, with small figures in bas-relief.
