| GeneralDescription |
In the centre on this face there is a standing cross. There is a hand on either side pointing to the horizontal arms. Above
the cross the sun is on the left, and the moon is on the right. Below the cross arms there are two figures, one on either
side, facing the cross. They are bowing and their hands are outstretched to the cross. This is thought to represent the 'Day
of Judgement'.
