mandorla - vesica piscis
mandorla - almond
vesica piscis - bladder of a fish
fancy names for a football/pointed oval shape commonly used in applique work -
linear and fusiform leaves also have this shape
Jane A. Stickle (maker of the Dear Jane quilt) used this shape a lot on/in her blocks
I couldn't find "mandorla" in either of my college level dictionaries, but it can be googled.
