Investigation- Knowledge In Symbols

1921


1. The cultural origin of calcinated gold is not listed in the description. 
2. The knowledge portrayed by this symbol is that it stands for calcinated gold.
3. The symbol is not vague, and it is not very mysterious. It pretty much means what it says. However, it could relate to the emotion of greed, for someone would desire gold if they wished to make a lot of money off of selling it. 
4. The problems of knowledge are that the description of the object is very short, and the origin of its naming is not listed. If there was more description to this symbol, and if it contained a greater origin, then we would know a lot more about it. 
5. Here are some other images related to my own:
