About Patulous

Patulous, radial designs — with branches or lines emanating from a center — are common in both nature and art. For example, the mandala is a spiritual artistic symbol in some Indian religions; its spirals represent the spread of the universe.

Did you Know?

Patulous comes from the Latin patulus, a derivative of patere, meaning "to be open." The shape of a tree appears to open outward from its center.
