Historique
Surélevée par deux à trois marches en blocs à peine équarris, cette croix repose sur un fût posé sur un socle prismatique et portant un croisillon. D'un côté, représentation du Christ avec, à ses pieds, les Saintes Femmes en adoration. De l'autre côté, un ange couronne la Vierge, les ailes déployées dans la verticale du croisillon pourvu des écots et de choux terminaux peu développés.

History
Raised by two to three steps made of barely squared blocks, this cross rests on a shaft placed on a prismatic base and bearing a crossarm. On one side, a representation of Christ with, at his feet, the Holy Women in adoration. On the other side, an angel crowns the Virgin, wings deployed vertically from the crossarm provided with stops and terminal leaves of little development.
