Carved processional cross depicting Christ and the symbols of the evangelists on the obverse, and the Virgin Mary and four seraphim on the reverse. The knot, in two parts, is representative of a Gothic architecture with buttresses and pinnacles. Inside niches in a clear Renaissance style, we find the Apostles. It bears the Barcelona stamp and is attributed to Barcelona silversmith Pere Joan Palau, author of the enamelled processional cross of the cathedral of Girona.
