Cross of Agadez

This cross is normally referred to as the Muslim cross. There is no bearing of it on Islam or Christianity and is actually a geometric cross pattern that is used mostly by the Sunni Muslim Tuareg people of Sharan Africa (Drum, 2022). The middle of the cross represents God. The area on the cross stands for protection to keep evil at bay. This symbol is usually used as a protective amulet; it is also considered the symbol of faith and a way to keep away negative energy.
