Yant Phra Chao Ha Phra Ong (Five-Chamber Diamond Cross)
A five-chambered cruciform or diamond lattice placing 'Put' at the center surrounded by 'Na', 'Mo', 'Tha', and 'Ya' at the four cardinal corners, ubiquitous on classic clay and coin amulets.
Formed by four corner squares around a fifth central square (a Greek cross or quincunx pattern), often joined at the outer corners by curved petals or Unalome finials. The five syllables of 'Na Mo Put Tha Ya' occupy the five chambers.
Used across virtually every regional Thai monastic school as the standard five-Buddha consecration seal on the reverse of clay votive tablets, Rian medallions, and entrance lintels.
