Yantras

Symbols and inscriptions require specific source context. A manuscript about Thai yantras is not automatically evidence of a Nang Kwak tradition.

Historical context · described as 19th century

Yan Takrut folding-book manuscript

Wikimedia Commons attributes this manuscript image to a Thai folding book (NPT-004-011) at Wat Lam Phaya Folk Floating Market Museum. The catalogue describes yantra and amulet content; it does not establish a Nang Kwak-specific connection.
