TheNestorian cross is associated with theChurch of the East. It is composed of a cross similar to theMaltese cross, with four arms of roughly equal length which narrow in width towards the center of the cross. In Eastern Christian art in China, these crosses are sometimes simplified and depicted as resting on alotus flower or on a stylized cloud.
