Crisscross pattern

Question

I am buying doors that have a design of two vertical strips and two horizontal strips, and the strips intersect off to the side and not in the center. Is there any problem with this because of the resemblance to a cross?

Answer

It is permitted, since it was not made for the purpose of bowing down to it.
