A meta-note: it can help to put the blazon, or part of it, in the
subject line, and note that it's armory.  That way, the name people
can skip it easier, and it helps distinguish one request from another.

What does the cross look like?  Does it extend to all the edges of its
white wedge, or does it cut off short of the edges?  If it cuts off
short, what type of cross is it: does it have squared off ends or
fancy ends?  How many arms?  Is the lowest limb longer than the rest?
Is it pointed like a stake?

British practice is to capitalize all tinctures.  The SCA only
capitalizes "Or".  Lions are rampant by default, so the postition
doesn't have to be blazoned -- but thank you for specifying it, so
that we knoew explicitly that it is rampant.

     Per saltire purpure and argent, in pale a cross [something?] and a
     lion argent.
