A weathered stone atrial cross, carved from reddish-brown stone, stands centrally in a verdant garden courtyard under bright sunlight. The cross rests on a multi-tiered square stone pedestal. The ornate finial above the crossbeam displays the carved letters 'INRI', flanked by stylized faces and topped with three crown-like ornaments. At the junction of the cross arms, a carved human face with a beard and a crown of thorns is present. The ends of the crossbeam feature cylindrical carvings. The vertical shaft below the crossbeam includes a square relief containing a cross symbol, followed by a vertical sequence of rectangular, step-like carvings. Further decorative carvings are visible near the shaft's base. The cross is encircled by manicured green hedges and flowering plants with small red blossoms in the foreground. Lush green trees with thick trunks and various foliage, including palm fronds, populate the background and sides. A building with an ochre-yellow wall and a barred window is visible on the left-mid background. To the right, a building with a dark red wall and a window is partially visible. This scene is located within the courtyard of the **Museo Franz Mayer** in the Historic Center of Mexico City, Mexico.
