ECM: Baglan; Brancu Cross (replica)
Incomplete slab with an equal-armed ring cross formed of interlace carved in false relief. Formed by double-beaded cords; its three lower arms end in Stafford knots. The sections of the ring joining the arms are also double-beaded, forming with the curved angles of the cross, circular interspaces between the arms. At the end of the upper arm, the cords merge into a square panel of interlace; in the lower arm, the (smaller) Stafford knot rests on a square panel of C.1 interlace forming the stem. (Parallel inscription and cross form exist in monument G107).
