Modified version of hindu yoni-lingam symbols, as included on trump card 7 ("the chariot") in the rider-waite-smith tarot deck. This could be used to explain the hypothesis that some uses of some versions of cross symbols are intended to have sexual symbolism (see en:talk:cross etc. ) -- though it's highly unlikely that such sexual symbolism could be the "true" origin or meaning of all cross symbols in all cases. Date: Original date was 1909 by Pamela Colman Smith (published in 1910); subsequent image manipulation and clean-up in 2009.
