An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Gold was associated with "physical, mental and spiritual perfection."[1]. The substance is often represented by a circle with a dot in the center, sometimes with a triangle-and-curlicue flourish on the upper right of the circle, or a number of other variations that bear some resemblance to a sun (there are also a number of versions of the symbol that don't look like the sun). Unsurprisingly, the symbol for gold is also used to represent the sun, which "dominates" gold in alchemical tradition.
