Cross dating from the 17th century, with a slightly truncated wheel base. A barrel supports the cross via a spherical cutter. The cross is decorated with a glory and ends with a palmette. The cross of Saint-Maurice, with this glory, evokes the jewelry of the Puy, whether in gold or enamelled. This configuration seems unusual for a cross located at a crossroads.
