It shares many details in its carved decoration with other Anglo-Saxon sculpted monuments all thought to have been produced by sculptors associated with the Wearmouth-Jarrow monastic complex. In addition to the pictorial images that fill the shaft, it is incised with sentences in Latin that link the carved images to the liturgy of Holy Week, and verses in runes that recount, in Old English, the poetic tradition of the vision of the cross which is preserved in a 10th-century Anglo-Saxon manuscript known as the Vercelli Manuscript., described as the most important sculptural survival of Anglo-Saxon Britain.
