The Amulets were discovered in the ceiling above some of the throne seats such as the Rong Pra Tinang Siva Mukh Throneroom, and the Putai Sawan Throneroom. Of those amulets found within the palace, which were made from Leaden Silver Mercurial Alloy, a large number of them were taken and sealed once again within the golden stupa of the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Then, during the celebrations of 150 years anniversary of the city of Bangkok, they were placed beneath the 'Kone Dton Samor Pipek' (trunk of the ancient sacred Samor Pipek tree).
