Religious Symbols and Masons’ Marks: Plate O
Rows of triangles, crosses, circles, letter-like strokes and other signs cover the comparison plate. The groups vary from broad geometric emblems to compact marks scratched or carved on objects. King’s key ranges across Hindu religious symbols, ancient inscriptions and masons’ marks rather than assigning every sign a Gnostic origin.
