The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Croix probablement de la fin du 16e siècle en lave de Volvic dont le soubassement est constitué par une masse cubique surmontée d'un degré et d'un tronc de pyramide. Au-dessus, le fût cylindrique se termine par un chapiteau à feuillage supportant la croix proprement dite ; les bras cylindriques se terminent par des choux frisés. A l'intersection des bras, se trouvent deux bas-reliefs : un Christ en Croix d'un côté, une Pietà de l'autre. Cette croix a disparu (cf CRMH, 13/06/1988).

History
Cross probably dating from the end of the 16th century in Volvic lava with a base consisting of a cubic mass topped by a step and a pyramid frustum. Above, the cylindrical shaft ends in a foliage capital supporting the cross proper; the cylindrical arms end in curly cabbages. At the intersection of the arms are two bas-reliefs: a Crucifix on one side, a Pietà on the other. This cross has disappeared (cf CRMH, 13/06/1988).
