Letters and Numbers on Special Containers, con't Taking up our big list of containers that hold special objects, we see if any of these use letters and numbers in their design elements- Tibet Portable Shrine (colluminar). Yes, there appears to be Sanskrit letters on the top of the shrine. Sorry, my Sanskrit is a bit rusty. Lotus Shrine with articulated petals. Looks like there is some symbols around the exterior...hard to tell. Tibet Portable Shrine in silver Nope...No letters or numbers here...maybe on the other side? The Catholic Ostensorium A bit hard to tell, but it would seem not. Tibet Portable Shrine Not even on the inside India Portable Shrine Oh, yes, right on the base is some lettering. Big "portable" shrine. Nope. I love this one by the way, it is just too neat. Sort of like the Monster Truck version, no dis-respect intended. The Dragon's Gate sites offering of a do it yourself Obutsudan. Nope, none here either. Another favorite. Got to love the DYI attitude and giving stuff away for free. (Looks like an error on the Dragon's gate page, the first picture can be found here.) A modern day portable shrine "Free Custom Labeling for 500+ Orders" Did a bit better today with containers that use lettering and numbers as a design feature. We'll look a bit at "why" tomorrow. 11:02:20 PM
