PLATE XIIJ .
Text Appearing After Image:
17 PLATE XII. Contains both pagan and Christian emblems. Fig. 1 is from Pugin, plate xviii., and is a very commonfinial representing the trinity. Its shape is too significant torequire an explanation; yet with such emblems our Christianchurches abound, that the Trinity may never be absent fromthe minds of man or woman ! Fig. 2 is from Pugin, plate xxi. It is a combinationof ideas concealing the union patent in Fig. 4, Plate xi., su2:)ra. Fig. 3 is from Moors Hindu Pantheon. It is an orna-ment borne by Devi, and symbolises the union of the triadwith the unit. Fig. 4 is from Pugin, plate xxxii. It is a doublecross made up of the male and female emblems. It isa conventionalised form of Fig. 4, Plate xi., supra. Sucheight-rayed figures, made like stars, seem to have been veryancient, and to have been designed to indicate the junction ofmale and female. Fig. 5 is from Pugin, plate xvii., and represents thetrinity and the unity. Fig. 6 is a Buddhist emblem from Birmah, Journalof Royal Asiat
