fylfot cross
A name for the figure called also a cross cramponnee (see cramponnee adj.), and identical with the swastika n. of India, the gammadion of Byzantine ecclesiastical ornament; it has been extensively used as a decoration (often, apparently, as a mystical symbol) in almost all known parts of the world from prehistoric times to the present day. Also fylfot cross.
