crescents
Curved lunar phases
Crescents is the plural of crescent—a curved shape like the moon between new and half phases, with pointed tips at each end.
The shape appears in flags, religious symbols, and architecture.
Crescent rolls are pastries curved into this shape.
The bakery's crescents sold out by noon.
Islamic crescents topped the mosque's domes.
