Description: The stone cross, possibly sandstone, is plastered and painted with lime, featuring trefoil-shaped ends on the beams. The cross is set on a plastered stone base with a small window-like alcove in which a five-line inscription reads: Kucty // a chvale // Božej // postavil // Ján Sekač (In honor // and glory // of God // erected // by Ján Sekač.).
Someone "enhanced" the inscription with black paint, correcting the "y" in "kucty" to "i" and adding a length mark over the "a" in "chvale." The corpus is not original, painted in golden color and fixed to the cross through its abdomen. Above the crossbeam, there is a plaque with the inscription INRI.
Surroundings: The cross is located in the garden of Mrs. Emília Jelínková's house, No. 555, right at the entrance to Nižný Kelčov.
Masses or worships (for which feast, regularly/irregularly): Private only.
