moon crescent
Curved night light
A moon crescent is the curved, partially illuminated shape of the moon when less than half its visible surface is lit by the sun.
The term is slightly redundant since crescents are already associated with the moon—crescent alone usually suffices.
The moon crescent hung low over the horizon.
The shape appears as a symbol in flags, religious iconography, and decorative contexts.
