Another motif used against evil eye is the cross formed of
a vertical and horizontal line. According to the Anatolian belief
the cross reduces the power of the evil glance by dividing it
into four pieces.
The motif dates back far before Christianity. There are crosses
in the wall painting of Çatalhoyuk. A variation of the
cross, known as swastika is also being used since very early
times.
Examples of this motif can be observed in various artifacts
produced in Anatolia.
