Kirk Conchan Wheel Cross

This is a small wheel-headed cross approximately twenty six inches high, fourteen inches wide and one and a half inches thick.

A single-sided cross, it is an excellent example, very highly carved, with continuous interlacing.
The outer circle has a plait of four and the inner circle a twist. Below is a sunken panel with two dog-like creatures, one of which appears to have two heads.
