The Cross is carved from a single piece of marble on both sides, with the ends of the arms characterized by a mixtilinear profile. On the side where the crucified Christ is depicted, the horizontal arm features pairs of angels, two on the left intent on prayer and two on the right captured in the act of expressing their grief. One expresses his contrition in a restrained and thoughtful manner, bringing his hands to his chest; the other, more pathetically, is depicted in the act of wiping away his tears. A fifth angel is then depicted at the upper end of the vertical arm, also kneeling like the others but depicted frontally. At the foot and at the top of the Cross, instead, are the grieving Magdalene and the pelican wounding its breast to feed its young, a widespread symbol of the Savior who redeems humanity with his sacrifice. Finally, on the other side, at the intersection of the two arms, there appears a God the Father seated on a throne of clouds, with an open book held in his left hand, while his right hand, broken and lost, was most likely depicted in the gesture of blessing.
