pentangle
Star with five points
A pentangle is a five-pointed star drawn with five straight strokes, each line crossing two others—also called a pentagram or pentacle.
The figure has ancient associations with magic, protection, and mysticism.
In medieval literature, Sir Gawain bears a pentangle on his shield as a symbol of truth and perfection.
The pentangle was inscribed on the amulet.
