Historical Context
Medieval artists used an almond-shaped mandorla to enclose sacred figures or heavenly appearances. A late-fourteenth-century Annunciation places God the Father within such a form. Vesica piscis is a modern geometric label often applied to the outline; the Vault design does not imply a secret universal doctrine.
Provenance: Contemporary geometric rendering informed by documented medieval mandorla imagery.
Context note: Separates the art-historical mandorla from expansive modern sacred-geometry claims.
