This section of a decorated stone cross-shaft holds two carved panels. The upper one has a central seated figure with a halo which may represent a seated Christ in Judgment. Above him are two figures, each holding a book and blowing a trumpet. Below are two seated figures, each with a horn or scroll. Crosses such as this may have been placed inside a church to commemorate the deceased or to mark a burial place.
