<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 307991, member: 5833"]Suspect most people I know are only familiar with the word 'halo' & would apply it to any type of representation of radiance. They might say something like, He has rays coming out of him, to describe any of the other forms. My primary interest in cameos has been learning to identify figures & scenes, so symbolism comes into it a lot, including for religious subjects, & have had to delve into these fine distinctions. I know a martyr when I see one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jack didn't jump high enough going over that candlestick, so Jack be nimbus...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
