Hi all,
What, if any, is the significance of the recumbant crescent in this
dial? Wikipedia describes crescents in art and symbolism, but its
description relates mostly to the crescent as a symbol of Islam and in
Christianity (Roman Catholic) as a symbol for Mary.
Is there any other or more specific meaning when used to furnish a dial?
Specifically, a fully recumbant crescent as shown in this dial?
