Libra symbols (zodiac symbols, motifs, ... Design Elements (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Zodiac symbol of a pair of scales, 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.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 由一對天平所代表的星座符號,大約是根據與其同名的星座而設計出來的。該星座符號自古希臘和羅馬時期的裝飾留存至今,在北歐的羅馬式及哥德式教堂中很盛行,並且時常可於中古世紀禮拜用的詩篇歌集和每日祈禱書中見到,它們象徵了太陽在每一個月所進入之相關星座區域。星座符號也用來做為天花板、地圖、鐘錶計時器,以及天文儀器的裝飾。 
Dutch ..... Dierenriemsymbool van een weegschaal, ruwweg gebaseerd op het sterrenbeeld met dezelfde naam. De dierenriemtekens zijn bewaard gebleven via klassieke Griekse en Romeinse decoratie, waren populair in Noord-Europese Romaanse en Gotische kerken en werden vaak aangetroffen in middeleeuwse psalters en getijdenboeken. Ze symboliseren elke maand waarin de zon het betreffende sterrenbeeld binnengaat. Deze tekens zijn ook gebruikt als decoratie op plafonds, kaarten, uurwerken en astronomische instrumenten. 
Spanish ..... Símbolo del zodiaco de un par de balanzas, basado aproximadamente en la constelación del mismo nombre. Los signos del zodiaco han sobrevivido desde la decoración clásica griega y romana, eran popular en el románico del norte europeo e iglesias góticas y frecuentemente en salterios medievales y libros de horas, que simbolizan cada mes en el cual el sol entra a la constelación relacionada. También han sido usadas como decoración de cielos, mapas, relojes e instrumentos de astronomía.
