From this "heart" of the cross, arms radiate, decorated with a complex, tactile ornament reminiscent of intertwined cords or a stylized floral pattern.The shape of the arms of the cross—widening toward the tips—imparts a special stability and solemnity. The upper arm culminates in a massive, solid-cast hanging loop that has retained its original shape and strength.
