Above each side of the horizontal part of the cross are two heads with wings, most likely meant to depict angels. Below the cross, are two figures, one on either side of Chirst. On the left there is a figure with a head covering, holding an image of a beared man. On the right, the figure is wearing robes and staring forward. The piece is painted in muted earth tones.
