Vintage Orthodox Icon Cross.

Russian Orthodox cross or Orthodox cross is a variation of the Christian cross since the 6th century in the Byzantine Empire. The cross has three horizontal crossbeams, with the lowest one slanted. Nowadays it is a symbol of the Russian Orthodox Church and a distinctive feature of the cultural landscape of Russia.

Vintage Design of the Byzantine Empire Symbol.

Byzantine Imperial Flag

No other symbol manifests the idea of an empire better than the two-headed eagle, and no other empire shaped these ideas into reality better than the Roman Empire. I present to you a magnificent specimen of a golden feathered eagle, bearing on its chest the symbol of the last ruling dynasty - the Paleologos. Glory, splendor, and prestige will befall the person proudly wearing this glorious bird on his or her chest... This, as well as enormous spendings on bird food, as two-headed eagles, because of reasons completely unknown to us, have twice the apetite for all kinds of snacks. The imperial right to rule is, after all, the right to rule the world, but what is the point of all that power if one cannot get his favourite snack?
