The two crosses appear to be different symbols. The south view cross is held up in triumphant procession; the two angels on the east and west step towards the cross, though the east angel looks north.
The other cross is plainer and indicated by the accompanying angels. The plainer cross (on the north view) appears to be surmounted by water. The impost of this capital has a running bird motif common
from pre-medieval European art.
