Spanish term or phrase: con un remate en cruz
This is talking about a 16th manuscript leaf with an illustration of a government building, constructed by indigenous peoples in Mexico City.

En la entrada principal hay un gran portón de madera con clavos de hierro, en un estilo típicamente español; está coronado por una especie de frontis, parece de cantera, ***con un remate en cruz.*** A diestra y siniestra sobresale la arquería sostenida por columnas dóricas, etc.

I finally saw a picture and this is apparently the right answer (I thought it might mean cross-hatched). Since it says "está coronado por" I have to come up with something other than "crowned". Thanks for your help!
