There is a round medallion at the cross's intersection with the Madonna and Child. The symbols of the four evangelists, the eagle, griffin, winged bull and angel encircle the medallion. Full-length figures of the Apostles in four rows of three comprise the stem of the cross. A relief of two angels tops the cross.
