Does anyone have any good ideas for symbols for trickery clerics?

I found an image I use from deviant art - just google "cloak and dagger symbol". I think it embodies the domain pretty well.

The symbol of any other deity with your deity's symbol emblazoned on the back. IIRC, you're supposed to proudly display your god's symbol to use it as a focus, but I feel like gods of trickery would usually allow an exception for such a ritualized deception.

Yes but what symbol on the back?

Do you have a particular god you're working on? For determining a specific symbol, it's useful to consider the god's whole portfolio, personality, etc. Most published trickery gods have established symbols based on their whole thing.

Barring more information, I second Theo's recommendation of a cloak and dagger symbol. Alternately, you could just steal Mask from FR's symbol.

Mask's symbol from the FR wiki.
