A Crusader symbol of two saints is a cameo of Saint George and Saint Demetrios, two popular Byzantine military saints: In this cameo, the two saints are depicted full-length, standing, and facing the viewer. They each have a halo, wear a chlamys, and rest their left hands on an oval-shaped shield. Saint George raises a sword to his right shoulder, while Saint Demetrios touches the top of a long lance with his right arm. Above them, Christ extends both hands in the sign of blessing over the saints' heads. The military aspect of the two saints became more prominent from the eleventh century on.
