    Your question is answered on the Maryland Flag Protocol web site:

    Maryland State Flag Protocol

    And the answer is "It is required by state law."

    Only a gold cross bottony may be used as an ornament on the top of a flagstaff that carries the Maryland flag (State Government Article, §13-203).
