"Someone know what can it mean an arrow crossed with a hammer over a rustic table?"
My first thought was Coat of Arms... I was lead to a GREAT website... and found
The hammer stands for Honour; emblem of the smith's trade --
The arrow is Readiness (for battle); if depicted with a cross, represents an affliction...
I told him - "This if I'm understanding correctly" ... ..
The website I found had a fabulous listing of... "SYMBOLISM OF HERALDIC ELEMENTS"
There was descriptions and meanings are gleaned from a variety of sources, some of which disagree on those meanings. The most commonly accepted meanings are given, but scholars vary in the their opinions concerning the reliability of any "commonly held" historic meanings for coats of arms and crests.
