Signs & Symbols: HC An Illustrated Guide to Their Origins and Meanings by DK (Miranda Bruce-Mitford)

DK’s Signs & Symbols is an illustrated reference to the visual language found in everyday life and across cultures. More than 2,000 signs and emblems introduce meanings associated with shapes, colors, numbers, plants, animals, religious imagery, heraldry, architecture, and the human life cycle.

Artwork, photographs, and cross-references make it useful for readers curious about visual communication, cultural traditions, and the origins of familiar symbols. This is a broad guide, not solely an occult-symbol dictionary. Miranda Bruce-Mitford is a contributor. Hardcover; published by DK; ISBN 9780756633936.
