  The expression "pierced" is applied to crosses, and is variously used. The term pierced (more frequently applied to mullets than similar charges) implies that there is a circular opening, and the field shown through, and such opening would be in the centre of the cross. But the opening may be of a lozenge form, or of square form, or of a number of other forms. When the whole of the centre is of the tincture of the field it is to be blazoned "quarterly pierced;" but, farther, some heralds contend that if the aperture does not occupy the whole of the central portion where the arms meet, it is to be blazoned "quarter-pierced."

"cross moline quarter-pierced" in 2.2a4 produces a quarter overlapping a cross 
moline. While that image might be a charge on its own accord, I know of no 
blazon containing it as such.
