Cercelée

Cross Cercelée

Anchor cross

Cercelée, or Sarcelly, is a term in heraldry. A cross cercelée is like an exaggerated cross moline, and to a lesser extent similar to the anchored cross, with its forked tips curving around both ways, like a ram's horns. The form is also known as recercelée, for example by Boutell.^[1]
