Medieval Cross incised slab, Oxwich Church, Gower

This 13th - 14th century slab originally lay horizontally above a grave inside the church. The cross form has fleur-de-lis terminals, which have been poorly repaired with the top dislodged to the right. The overall design is reminiscent of a flabellum.
