Description:
Polychrome stone wayside cross formerly outside the parish church of the Nativity at Campes (Tarn), now in the church. On one side of the cross is a carved Pieta, on the other the figure of Bernard in eucharistic vestments with a book in his left hand. There probably would have been a crozier held in his right hand. It may originally have come from the Cistercian abbey of Candeil.
