Here, the six characters in Sanskrit adorning the inside of each petal and the centre represent "bija". The outer border is decorated with three lines in Sanskrit. The term Bija comes from Sanskrit and means: seed, germ.

It appears on a limited number of Chinese porcelain for a period of about four hundred years between the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912). This type of writing, the Sanskrit Lança, is found in the religious texts of Nepal and Tibet for use by Buddhists. Most of the characters that decorate the porcelain correspond to mantras or incantations that come from the Sutra texts. According to Tibetan Buddhism, each Buddha or Boddhisattva can be represente
