Orbs: Symbols of Power, Glory, and Christian Faith Throughout history, they have held a significant place in various aspects of human civilization. From the regalia of royalty to the crown jewels of England, these spherical objects have been revered as symbols of power and glory. Dating back to 1937, the Royal they were an integral part of the Crown Jewels of England. These exquisite treasures embodied the majesty and authority bestowed upon monarchs. The King's Orb, crafted in 1919 with meticulous detail, showcased its vibrant colors through a lithograph. Similarly, the Queen's Orb exuded elegance and grace as it adorned her hand in another stunning lithograph from that same year. Even beyond royal regalia lies their association with faith. Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor alongside his wife Edith depicted their devotion through artistry centuries ago. In an oil painting dating back to ancient times stands Queen Anne herself; her portrait immortalized on canvas showcasing her connection to both monarchy and religious beliefs. Religious iconography often features orbs as well - Christ surrounded by singing angels resonates deeply within Christian faith traditions. This oil painting on oak panel captures divine harmony while emphasizing celestial spheres' significance within religious narratives. Beyond Europe's borders lie other representations throughout history. A solidus coin from Heraclius during 638-641 bears unknown creators but carries immense historical value nonetheless - a testament to how far-reaching this symbol truly is. In Renaissance-era Venice, Johannes de Sacro Bosco's Sphaera Mundi provided insights into planetary theories through beautifully hand-colored woodcuts. Meanwhile, Zaccaria Lilio's Orbis Breviarium offered a comprehensive map and diagram depicting our world in all its wonder during Florence's golden age in 1493. From symbols adorning crowns to depictions within sacred scriptures or even scientific treatises - orbs transcend boundaries across time and cultures alike.
