There is a note that this is a translation from an insciption on a wayside cross in the Austrian Tyrol. The lines of nails along the arms of the cross are intended to discourage seagulls from perching upon the crucifix, but artistically they are complementary to the inscription.  (ObjectID=566 ImageID=1292) Original File Name=_MG_2489.jpg
