Description

The cross does not have a clearly defined type, so it should be identified as a cross-shaped (Cruciform) with a slab. Variant, the silhouette resembles a trefoil. The inscription on the cross on the front side: 1922 / В Н English: 1922 / V N Condition: good, with minor physical damage and erosion. Covered with several layers of lime (with blue and white lime). There are minor colonies of lichens. The slab is rectangular, and has a rectangular mortise for holding the cross vertically. Such a fastening according to V. Malyna is called “female/male”, the vertical cross was mounted in a special mortise in the horizontal slab. Such a connection is related to the Greek cross with an anchor. Perhaps the slab was relocated.
