    Well, it's in the form of a cross. The white, red, yellow and black areas will take a bit of investigating to see what they might mean.

    Thanks!

    Ask your friend to ask her friend what it means, what it symbolizes.

    Just because it is a symbol does not mean that it means anything religious.

    Best to ask your friend.

    My guess is that it's pagan. The cross is the four directions of the compass. The colors are the four elements; earth, air, water, and fire. I don't use those particular colors to represent the elements, so I can't remember which color goes with which element. Each element will also correspond with one of the directions.

    I have seen symbols similar to that in a pagan setting.

    It may also just be something they thought was pretty or interesting.
