Cruceiro de Melide
The obverse depicts a seated Christ in Majesty, showing the wounds on his hands and a cloth covering his legs. On the reverse is a Calvary with Jesus Christ, above which appears the ancestral symbol: the fleur-de-lis.
The image of Jesus Christ is accompanied by the figures of Saint John and the Virgin and a kneeling figure, which could be Magdalene or another figure depicting the crucifixion. It is believed that it was once polychromed, as some traces of paint can be seen on it. Today the cruceiro stands on a modern column and is formed by a stone cross." -- caminofrances.eu
