This cross has arms of equal length that are narrowest in the center and flare outward, ending in rounded edges that are articulated by applied globules — two on the upper arm and three on the other arms. Circular bosses are applied on each arm and at the crossing of side 1. A single strand of rope-like wire extends from the center, circular boss and wraps twice around those on the arms. Side 2 is undecorated and displays a slightly different profile than that of side 1. The applied globules makes the edges of each arm appear straighter on side 2, giving them a pointed, rather than a rounded, profile. A raised diamond-shaped panel is affixed at the crossing of this side.
