I”ll pretend I didn’t see the little pendant and make a joke about how that’s why they need to go to the academy; they’ve only learned how to do the upright part of the cross so far.
Amyway, I don’t have a problem with the spear, which to me is clearly a spear, which fits with the title (Longinus and all that). It’s not at all a good cover but I think the spear element is an OK choice.
Ackshually, the most common types of Roman crosses (as in instruments of crucifixion) were simply upright poles; the cross bar was an optional element. There are, in fact some Christian sects who insist that Jesus was crucified on a pole like that one and that the t-shaped cross was a Medieval addition to the story.

My understanding is that when crosses were used for crucifixion they were Xs, not Ts.
Do I want to ask what body parts were pierced, then, in this single-pole Crucifixion theory?
Same ones, they just nail the hands above the head. (I know the Jehovah’s Witnesses use that portrayal in all their official art.)
I think you lads and ladies missed my joke, but hey, I’m glad I asked. (TY, seriously.)
That’s because no good can come from a joke that involves “Crucifixion” and “anatomy.”

The opposite of a Mowntencity.
