: : A seer sees. The buyer buys. (maybe reference to holes & discs)
: : All things belong to one of three kingdoms and you have the evidence before you.

A "seer" is a unit of weight in India, besides being an inward-looking pshychic. It's equal to 2.057 Lbs (.99 or so kg)
The rest are alchemical references. Salt, sulfur, mercury; Saturn, Jupiter, Mars are Lead, Tin and Iron.
