ginkgo leaf

Bilobed ancient frond

The distinctive fan-shaped leaf of the ginkgo tree, with radiating veins and a notched or wavy outer edge.

Ginkgo leaves turn bright yellow in autumn before dropping.

The shape appears widely in art, jewelry, and design, particularly in East Asian decorative traditions: a pendant in the shape of a ginkgo leaf.
