Summary
[edit]DescriptionBorromean-cross.png |
A "Borromean cross", which contains four Borromean rings configurations arranged in a cross shape. This means that no two circles are directly interlinked, and cutting the central loop frees the other four circles. This could be interpreted as a Christian symbol, since it combines the cross with the Borromean rings (often used as a symbol of the Christian Trinity). However, a similar design (not Borromeanly-linked) is found as a Japanese mon in Handbook of Design and Motifs (1950), and may be occasionally used as a neo-pagan "five worlds" symbol... For another image on the "Borromean rings + cross" theme, see File:Cross-Trinity-Borromean-interlinked.svg .
