The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'ensemble repose sur une construction granitique dont la partie supérieure est moulurée, et qui est creusée d'une niche. Entre les pilastres compris entre deux modillons chanfreinés, un coeur est taillé en haut relief sous le seuil. Les écoinçons sont ornés de fleurs stylisées. Le sommet de l'arc est piqué d'une fleur de lys. La niche abrite la statue d'un personnage semblant assez récent. La croix se dresse au faîte d'une colonne. Le sommet de la hampe et les deux extrémités du croisillon portent des appendices en forme d'engrenages à quatre dents. Un Christ est taillé en bas-relief et penche la tête du côté droit. Cet ouvrage relève d'un art campagnard fruste.

The whole rests on a granitic construction of which the upper part is moulded, and which is hollowed out with a niche. Between the pilasters comprised between two chamfered modillions, a heart is carved in high relief below the threshold. The spandrels are adorned with stylised flowers. The apex of the arch is pricked with a fleur-de-lys. The niche shelters the statue of a figure appearing fairly recent. The cross stands at the top of a column. The summit of the shaft and the two ends of the crossarm bear appendages in the form of four-toothed gear wheels. A Christ is carved in low relief and inclines its head to the right side. This work belongs to a crude rustic art.
