Re: [Cz-L] Stone with cross.

Dear Christian,

thank you very much for the higher resolution image (I actually wanted
to ask you if you have one) and for the other photos as well.

I still think it is possible that we see a trace of a cross-shaped
fixture to hold a decoration like a bas-relief or a coat of arm. Here
is a couple of examples of what I mean from other cemeteries (in both
cases there is an attachement inside the wreath):

Thanks again,
Iosif
