crescent moon
Curved night light
A crescent moon is the moon when it appears as a thin curved sliver, visible in the days just after new moon or just before the next one.
The shape—a luminous arc with pointed tips called horns—has become a symbol in many contexts: Islamic iconography, the flags of several nations, and decorative motifs.
A crescent moon hung low over the horizon.
