The uneven and abraded contours of the figures of this cross and the presence of a hanging bracket reveal its function, for individual prayer and personal carrying. The iconography represents the crucified Christ and God the Father blesses and holds the globe. The dove of the Holy Spirit appears between the angels. To the sides of the body of Christ, some instruments of His passion, while at His feet Adam's skull symbolizing the triumph of the Messiah on the original sin.
