Ian and Jim McDougall,
I couldn’t agree more that motifs are picked up by disparate cultures and repeated. The trick is finding the relevant source for the design. I am going to check out my copy of The Grammar of Ornament by Owen Jones’ to see if I can find just such a source. It’s a big book, so It may take some time.

werecow,
The image you have posted (plus others I have seen on line while searching for “templar cross”) look very close. The problem is that all of them are discernibly a cross. The crossed lines in my stamp look more like the x/y axis of a quadrant circle.

Sincerely,
RobT
