Rh Cross Quadrate. Fig. 56.

Almost all the varieties of the cross may be quadrate.

Cross Rayonnant has rays of light issuing from the centre. Fig. 57.

Cross Potent has its four limbs terminated like the fur of that name. Fig. 58.



Cross Patée, or Formée. Fig. 59.

The Maltese Cross closely resembles a cross patée, except that each extremity has usually an indentation.

Cross Moline, Fig. 60, has its extremities formed like a fer de moline, or mill rind, Fig. 158.

Cross Fleurie and Cross Fleurettée are almost identical; in the latter, however, the fleurs-de-lis are generally represented as issuing from the limbs,. and not forming part of the cross itself. Figs. 61 and 62.

Cross Patonce, the cross fleurie expanded. Fig. 63.
