Latin cross with polylobulated arms with INRI cartouche surrounded by plant motifs. The vertical foot is carved apple knot with diamond tips and hemispheres and bottom of gallon vase. Each section is joined by splinters of overgrown silver with a vegetal appearance. Truncated conical base with a triangular foot with a marked base on winged legs with finely engraved decoration of ribs and vegetable scrolls very characteristic of the goldsmith's time. In the square there is a fracture and it seems that it would carry some embedded element, today lost. Some damage.
