inscriptions:

	inscription:	the letters on the banderoles may be described as a composite script called Gothic majuscule, which intermingles Roman capitals and uncial alphabets.  This script was especially favored by Italian artists for inscriptions in architecture, sculpture, panel painting, and manuscript illustrations during the 14th and 15th centuries.  The banderole on the left reads: "POSVIT. ME. DESOLAT.[UM]" (God has forsaken me); the other banderole reads: "CRUS. DOMINI. MECUM" (the cross of the Lord is with me).  A third inscription with the abbreviations for the words of Pilate--"I. N. R. I." (IESUS, NASARENUS RES IUDAEORUM), or Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews" appears on the plaque (tabula ansata) at the top of the cross.
