lotus (motif) (plant-derived motifs, motifs, ... Design Elements (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Either of two motifs that are both based on types of waterlily, one originating in ancient Egypt and the other in India. Within Egyptian lotus motifs, two varieties occur from the beginning of the Dynastic period ca. 3000 BCE: If the flower-head has a curved outline, it is based on the white-flowered species Nymphaea lotus, while if the flower has a triangular outline, it is based on the blue-flowered species, Nymphaea caerulea. The Egyptian motif continued in Greek, Roman, and later European art. For the Indian lotus specifically, based on the species Nelumbo nucifera, use the narrower term "padma."

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 源於古埃及與印度的兩種紋飾，均以睡蓮的種類為基礎。約始自西元前3000年的王朝初期，埃及的蓮花紋飾出現兩種變化：若其頭狀花序具有彎曲輪廓，就是白花品種的白睡蓮，但若其花朵具有三角輪廓，則是以藍花品種的藍睡蓮為根據。埃及紋飾延續至希臘、羅馬，以及爾後的歐洲藝術。特指東方蓮品種為根據的印度蓮花，則用較狹義的詞彙「帕德瑪/蓮花」。 |
| Dutch ..... Te gebruiken voor het decoratieve motief van zeer gestileerde bloemen of knoppen afgeleid van bepaalde Egyptische planten; gebruikelijk in oude Egyptische kunst en in anthemia in neo-klassieke stijlen. |
| Spanish ..... Úsese para motivos decorativos de flores o capullos sumamente convencionalizados derivados de ciertas plantas egipcias; común en el antiguo arte egipcio, en el clasicismo y en antemios. |
