Plate description Sak-yant tracing stencil. Two "yant dok bua" (lotus yantras) drawn one above the other in fine black outline; caption below reads ๑ ยันต์ดอกบัว ฯ ("No. 1, Lotus Yantra"). Each yant is a stylised lotus blossom crowned by a flame-shaped unalome finial (tapering spire with a curled tip) flanked by small Khom finial ticks. A single Khom (ขอม) sacred-script syllable sits at the heart of each lotus; a curved arc of further Khom syllables runs beneath the petals. No colour or shading — a line stencil meant to be copied onto skin or cloth. Tradition — the lotus yant is a Buddhist purity emblem (rising unstained above defilement); commonly given for metta (loving-kindness) and clean, rising fortune.
