Ornate stone cross in Couffy sur Sarsonne

Sclupted stone crosses, often with very interesting details, are a specialty of Limousin. From the early Middle Ages (or even before that), sculpting stone was one of the main industries of the region. This cross is shaped as a disc with a christ in its center and is called croix de l'Oradoux.
I missed a second interesting cross in Couffy sur Sarsonne, located in the graveyard.
