History
Cross belonging to flamboyant Gothic. The extremities of the arms are terminated by four very prominent cabbages. Small fluted and pierced arcatures embellish the intersection of the arms. In relief on the profile of the shaft, at the foot of the crucifixion, two kneeling adoring angels are present. On the reverse, the Virgin bears the Child. The shaft and the pedestal are modern.
