Gems, Symbols and Glyphs of the Zodiac
Twelve numbered zodiac designs combine animals, figures and objects with polished gem settings. A ram, bull, lion, crab, scorpion, centaur, goat, scales and paired fish give the sequence varied silhouettes. The colour frontispiece is signed Wm. Thos. Pavitt. It introduces William Thomas and Kate Pavitt’s Book of Talismans, placing the zodiac’s signs beside the stones and ornamental settings through which the authors discuss them.
