A cross whose arms end in arrowheads is called a "cross barby" or "cross barbée" in the traditional terminology ofheraldry. InChristian use, the ends of this cross resemble the barbs of fish hooks, or fish spears.
In modern use, the symbol has become associated with extremist organisations after theArrow Cross (Nyilaskereszt) symbol was used inHungary in the 1930s and 1940s as the symbol of afar-rightHungaristfascist political party, theArrow Cross Party, led byFerenc Szálasi, and of this party's thuggishparamilitary organization.[1][2][3] The symbol consists of two green double-ended arrows in a cross configuration on a white circular background on a red background. The arrow cross symbol remains outlawed in Hungary.[4]
A variant symbol, the Crosstar—is used by theNationalist Movement, awhite supremacist group based in the United States.
Similar symbol, modified version of thePortuguese Cross (inverted triangular edges) used by the formerBrazilian Patrianovist Imperial Action from 1928 to 1937.
The arrow cross was previously used by theFalange Venezolana (Venezuelan Phalanx), a far-right group based in Venezuela.[5][6]
