About this work

The object is composed of the following two parts: the cross and the lower part with the profiled nodus, to mount it on a staff. The cross has two reinforcements at the foot on the front and back, is provided with an engraved halo at the intersection, while the ends marked by round widenings presumably ended in now missing French lilies. The Christ figure is missing.
