Archiepiscopal cross

An archiepiscopal cross (archbishop's cross) is a two-barred cross used by or to signify or dignify an archbishop.[1] Similar to the patriarchal cross, it is typically made like a staff with the two barred cross up top and a very long downwards extending arm.[2]

The Archiepiscopal cross has two cross bars.
