The Tau Cross is an ancient and powerful symbol. Simple in form yet rich in meaning, it has long been associated with protection, renewal and inner journey. It is traditionally linked to St. Francis of Assisi, who adopted the Tau as a personal spiritual sign.
This pendant is crafted from solid olive wood, a material deeply rooted in Mediterranean culture and widely recognized as a symbol of peace and strength. Each piece is carefully shaped and finished by hand, following the natural grain of the wood to highlight its unique character.
The surface is protected with a natural vegetable oil finish, which nourishes the wood while enhancing its warm tone and natural texture. The dimensions of 35 × 31 mm make the Tau balanced and present while remaining light and comfortable to wear.
The pendant is mounted on an adjustable paracord necklace and features a distinctive Dogstar detail: instead of a standard metal loop, it uses a bass guitar string ball-end, a small element from the world of musical instruments reinterpreted as a design feature.
Each piece is delivered in a Dogstar Wood Lab box made from FSC-certified cardboard, sourced from responsibly managed materials.
A timeless symbol carved in wood, crafted with the care and sensitivity of true artisan work.
