#1533

Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa. De Occulta Philosophia. 1533.

Sigils of the fixed stars and constellations. In the Hermetic tradition — which holds that hidden correspondences link celestial bodies to earthly phenomena — sigils were signs constructed from geomantic figures. These were patterns generated by making random marks and reducing them to rows of dots. Connecting them in various ways produced a unique shape assigned to a star or constellation and used in talismans and rituals to invoke those bodies' power.

Pictured top to bottom: Caput Algol, Pleiades, Aldebaran, Hircus, Canis Major, Canis Minor, Cor Leonis, Cauda Ursae, Ala Corui, Spica, Alchameth, Elpheia, Cor Scorpii, Vultur Cadens, and Cauda Capricorni.

The Kazan Crown, Crafted in 1533,

Though often associated with Ivan the Terrible, a historically accurate source states that the Kazan Crown is not the same as Monomakh's Cap, which is considered the first Russian crown worn by the first Tsar. 

Made of gold, pearls, turquoise, and garnet stones, with a yellow sapphire topping the cap.
