fylfot

The gallows from which he is suspended forms a Tau cross, while the figure—from the position of the legs—forms a fylfot cross.

Both the Greek fret and the fylfot appear to have been unknown to the Semitic nations as an ornament or as a symbol.

There can be no doubt that the fylfot throughout Eur-Asia had a symbolic significance, which in many places it still retains.

In Ireland, however, and in Scotland, the fylfot seems to have marked Christian sepulchres.

It was long ago remarked that the fylfot is almost exclusively an Aryan symbol.

The manner in which the fylfot was employed proves that it certainly had a symbolic signification.

The fylfot is frequently found in the Greek Church on the vestments of the clergy.

One of the most singular, as well as most ancient, of the many forms and modifications of the cross is the "fylfot."

The Greek fret or key pattern, with which all are familiar, is a decorative development of the fylfot.

Why, the symbol of Buddha on the reverse of a coin found at Ugain is the same cross, the 'fylfot' of Thor.
