cruciforms
Plus-sign shaped objects
Cruciforms are things shaped like a cross—having four arms extending from a central point.
The term appears in architecture (cruciform churches have cross-shaped floor plans), biology (cruciform flowers have four petals arranged crosswise), and archaeology (cruciform artifacts).
The cathedral follows a traditional cruciform layout.
