The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Croix en granit placée sur un socle rectangulaire, lui-même supporté par un escalier à trois marches qui n'entoure pas la face antérieure du socle. La partie supérieure est en forme de médaillon losangé entouré de festons circulaires. Ce médaillon porte, en son centre, en léger relief, un Christ en croix ayant les Saintes femmes debout à ses pieds. Dans le socle, en façade, est encastré un chapiteau représentant le Christ assis, une main sur la poitrine, l'autre posée sur le genou. Derrière lui, à sa droite, un personnage tient un encensoir. A droite du chapiteau, très fruste, un animal dont on ne voit qu'une jambe terminé par un pied portant des griffes et une aile. Au milieu de cette aile se trouve une demi sphère. Entre le Christ et l'aile est gravée une inscription.

History
Cross in granite placed on a rectangular base, itself supported by a staircase of three steps which does not surround the front face of the base. The upper part is in the form of a lozenge-shaped medallion surrounded by circular festoons. This medallion bears, at its centre, in slight relief, a Christ on the cross with the Holy women standing at his feet. In the base, on the front, is set a capital representing Christ seated, one hand on the chest, the other placed on the knee. Behind him, to his right, a figure holds a censer. To the right of the capital, very crude, an animal of which only a leg is seen ending in a foot bearing claws and a wing. In the middle of this wing is found a half sphere. Between the Christ and the wing is engraved an inscription.
