The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Croix du 15e siècle qui devait primitivement être supportée par un fût disparu. La croix est de section hexagonale. Les croisillons sont terminés par des ornements à fleurons isolés par une astragale. Sur la face antérieure est sculpté le Christ surmonté d'un lambe. Sur la face postérieure est sans doute sculptée la Vierge, les mains jointes, la tête inclinée, portant des vêtements aux plis droits et rigides. Un commencement de chapiteau, attenant à la croix, se voit au bas.

History
Cross of the 15th century which was originally meant to be supported by a disappeared shaft. The cross is of hexagonal section. The cross-arms are terminated by ornaments with florets isolated by an astragal. On the front face is sculpted Christ surmounted by a lamb. On the rear face is doubtless sculpted the Virgin, hands joined, head inclined, wearing garments with straight and rigid folds. A beginning of a capital, attached to the cross, is visible at the base.
