The Mandorla's shape, resembling an almond, has been associated with the heavens and divinity since ancient times. Its oval form recalls the cosmic egg, a symbol of creation and the universe's origin. The Mandorla's circular form also evokes the idea of a protective circle or a sacred space. It acts as a boundary between the mundane and the holy, emphasizing the sanctity of the figure within it. In some depictions, the Mandorla is adorned with radiant light or angels, further reinforcing its protective and divine connotations.
