The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ce fragment de motif sculpté de style gothique flamboyant ne devait pas être une croix de chemin. Des traces permettent de penser qu'il a été séparé d'un autre élément (amorce d'un arc qui partait de l'intersection des bras de la croix). La croix se termine par un motif fleuronné. Un Christ est sculpté en haut relief, la tête manquant. Ce motif pourrait avoir été la partie centrale d'un tympan.

History
This fragment of carved motif in flamboyant Gothic style cannot have been a wayside cross. Traces suggest that it was separated from another element (the beginning of an arch that sprang from the intersection of the arms of the cross). The cross ends with a fleuronated motif. A Christ is carved in high relief, the head missing. This motif could have been the central part of a tympanum.
