Cross-carved Stone, St Brynach's Church, Llanfrynach

This 10th - 11th century stone shows a figure with arms raised in a praying position, fixed to the north wall of the nave of the church. It was found in c.1855 during the demolition of the former church. At the very bottom of the stone next to two triquetra knots is a little bird. Amgueddfa Cymru has a cast of the stone in its collection.
