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.
