Drawings with the yellow
silhouettes of the heads of a boy and girl facing each other
and with both a closed and a half-open
lotus
flower in between them. There
is also an open white lotus blooming on the side of each of
the heads and some circular ornaments, as well as a golden
floral motif at the top centre of the drawing, which
represents an open lotus as seen from above (fig.).
The background is blue with the colours of the Thai national
flags behind the children's heads. The lotus is a symbol of
intellect and
Enlightenment,
and as such the three lotuses in the centre can be described
as levels of intelligence, at the beginning of study until
graduation, from bud to full blooming lotus. |
