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

 

Note: Zodiac symbol of a goat, 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:
Dutch ..... Dierenriemsymbool van een steenbok, 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 una cabra, 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.
