  mandorla - HighBeam Encyclopedia
The mandorla is thought to have derived from either Greek or Roman prototypes.
One of the earliest known uses of the mandorla in Christian iconography occurs in the 5th-century mosaics in the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, Rome.
The principal applications of the mandorla, also sometimes termed aureole or vesica pisces, were in paintings depicting the Transfiguration, the Ascension, the Last Judgment, the Harrowing of Hell, and in symbolic portrayals of the evangelists and Christ in Majesty.

 Mandorla: Ancient Symbol of Wholeness
Jensen (1996) describes the mandorla as similar to the image of two mandalas (Sanskrit for circle) merging together until an almond shape is formed in the center.
Christ and the Virgin Mary are often portrayed in the framework of the Mandorla.
Finally, since the mandorla represents the coming together of the opposites, then if man were to transform this symbol from a religious one (which may limit the use of to only Christains) to a psychological one, then the use of the symbol can have an intrapsychic healing or integrative effect to both ego and shadow.

 What is a Mandorla?
The Italian word for "almond," Mandorla refers to the union of opposites, such as Heaven and Earth, Masculine and Feminine, known and unknown, and other paradoxical partners.
To step into the Mandorla is to move beyond "either-or" thinking - even beyond ideas of common ground or compromise - and stand in the tension of opposites long enough for something new to emerge.
In the realm of the Mandorla, the whole truly yields something greater than the sum of its parts, opening doors of possibility, discovery, and creativity.

 Log24: Web log of Steven H. Cullinane   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The same shape of genitalia (the Mandorla) was found in the majority of the Sheila-Na-Gigs that were carved on the top of doorways (usually at the pinnacle of a pointed or lancet arch) in the early churches and on some Cathedrals.
Mandorla, "Almond," the pointed-oval sign of the yoni, is used in Oriental art to signify the divine female genital; also called vesica piscis, the Vessel of the Fish.
Christian art similarly used the mandorla as a frame for figures of God, Jesus, and saints, because the artists forgot what it formerly meant.

 The Vesica Piscis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The almond-shaped center of the image is called a mandorla (Latin for almond; "vesica" or "vesica piscis" is sometimes also used to describe only this almond-shaped center.) The mandorla can easily be seen as a grail or chalice, connecting the symbol to Avalon.
The pointed oval is a universal symbol of the Divine Feminine, and in this context the Vesica Piscis is the vulva of the Goddess, surrounded by the crescents of the waxing and waning moon.
The mandorla as birth passage can easily be seen on the sheila-na-gig figures found on Irish churches, and in the squatting figures of the Hindu goddess Kali.
