Front (W) face of MacLean's C15th cross, Iona, Argyll, commissioned as a pilgrim's wayside prayer-cross by the Clan MacLean. It stands at the junction of three Medieval streets linking the two main landing-places (St Ronan's Bay & Martyr's Bay) to the nunnery & abbey. It is mainly decorated with interlaced plaitwork & foliage, but the front of the cross-head features a robed Christ on the Cross (Crucifix of Christus Rex?)
