Boriqua Report post Posted March 4, 2016 So I posted how much I like my new pro stamp but have a question. Is there any significance or history to the symbol in the middle or is it simply a flourish that means nothing? http://www.tandyleather.com/en/product/craftool-pro-stamp-basketweave-x2844 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WinterBear Report post Posted March 4, 2016 It's a cross patonce. http://www.americancollegeofheraldry.org/cross.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crosses_in_heraldry http://www.theheraldrysociety.com/articles/heraldic_devices/crosses_by_HSL.htm http://www.seiyaku.com/customs/crosses/patonce.html I don't think it has any particular modern meaning though, other than being a cross.

Art Report post Posted March 4, 2016 Kind of a Cross Patonce. In heraldry, there are bazillions of things that end up on the ends of the arms. Art Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
