Here is Wikipedia text about the Nimb: “Nimb (from Latin “cloud”) is a conventional designation of the radiant glow around the heads of images of Christ, the Mother of God, saints, etc. (along with the radiant crown, mandorla, and halo), symbolizing their holiness. The nimb is depicted in various shapes (round, triangular, hexagonal, and so on) and different colors. A round nimb with a cross inscribed within it (cruciform nimb) is the most important attribute assigned only to historical and symbolic images of Christ. It has been known since antiquity, beginning from the Hellenistic era. The word “nimb” was borrowed into Russian from German, where Nimbus traces back to the Latin nimbus — “cloud” (in which “gods descend to earth”). Before that, nimbs were often called “okrugok” (“circle”). Also, in the 19th century, the nimb was called “venets” or “venchik” (“crown” or “little crown”).
As an example, various types of nimbs can be distinguished, among others: Square nimb, used to denote high-ranking officials who were still alive during their tenure (popes, emperors, kings) in Italy from the 6th to 12th centuries. Round nimb, symbolizing deceased persons. It can be a single ring or a double ring. Cruciform or cross-shaped nimb, when a cross with equal arms is inscribed in a circle, intended for the depiction of Jesus Christ.
Triangular nimb, having the shape of a triangle, belonging only to the Father of the Christian Trinity.
Radiant or glowing nimb, in the shape of rays, related to the disks of ancient gods. Pearl nimb, mainly used by Muslims, where the blessed live inside pearls.
Zenith nimb: positioned horizontally on the head;
Stellated nimb: the nimb has the shape of a star. The stellated nimb is special for the Virgin: Revelation 12:1 — And there appeared a great wonder in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.
