Gemini symbols

Scope note: Zodiac symbol of a pair of twins, roughly based on the constellation of the same name. The zodiak signs have survived from classical Greek and Roman decoration, were popular in Northern European Romanesque and Gothic churches, and often found in Medieval psalters and books of hours symbolizing each month in which the sun enters the related constellation. They have also been used as decoration on ceilings, maps, timepieces, and astronomical instruments.
