Johann Daniel Mylius - Philosophia Reformata, 1622. Upon a radiant Globe of Light figures of the Sun and Moon are seated back-to-back, the Sun on the left. The Sun-headed figure holds out in his right hand a double flask, in the upper part of which is a king with sceptre, while in the lower is a black bird (a crow or raven). The Moon-headed woman holds out a double flask in her left hand, the topmost Sphere of which contains a white swan, while the lower has a peacock. She points to this lower Sphere with her right forefinger. Within the radiant Sphere of Light is a Three Headed Snake. To the left is a stump of a tree which is regenerating showing forth a few new leaves, while to the right is a fully mature tree.
