Only one carved face is visible
?A (broad): Edged by a flat-band moulding which merges with an arch dividing the face into two panels. (i) Part of a single figure whose head is broken off, and who is cut off at three-quarter length by the round arch of the panel below. The right hand is raised in blessing and the elaborate drapery is lightly indicated. (ii) Two figures under an arch. Their haloes are joined and their faces, at slightly different angles, are pressed together. Both are bearded with short hair, and their features are skilfully carved.
These figures so closely resemble the pair on face C of the Auckland St Andrew cross (no. 1) that one feels that, if it is not part of the same cross, it is certainly carved by the same man. It is interesting that both churches are dedicated to St Andrew.
