text:
The vesica piscis is a type of lens, a mathematical shape formed by the intersection of two disks with the same radius, intersecting in such a way that the center of each disk lies on the perimeter of the other. In Latin, "vesica piscis" literally means "bladder of a fish", reflecting the shape's resemblance to the conjoined dual air bladders found in most fish. In Italian, the shape's name is mandorla ("almond"). A similar shape in three dimensions is the lemon. This figure appears in the first
