A crescent?

Interesting that Muhammad showed up in the 7th Century. But then again - the lunar cycle has always fascinated.

Have been told that the crescent was originally a Jewish symbol. There is some evidence on the web also.

The Islamic Crescent was originally a Jewish Symbol

Difficult to imagine Jews traveling up into the Highland areas of Scotland, but there are some theories.

Looks like a wee winged beastie, to me. Take my word for it, I’m an expert. Some of my ancestors are from that area! ;)

Whatever it is, it’s pretty neat!
