Thank you for the hint Kai,
I must say i have rushed browsing the net for lotus seed pictures but, to my modest eyes, i fail to see such resemblance.

Hello Fernando,

I'm assuming it to be a stylized representation: The seedpods are variable and change quite a bit throughout the ripening process; they are pretty graphic though and lend themselves to abstraction IMHO.
