The rear face showcases all the classic features and sacred ingredients of an authentic Pra Somdej Wat Rakang of Somdej Dto. Its beautiful lined pattern, acquired over nearly two centuries, adds character and aids in authentication. Collectors and devotees covet this classic aged appearance and eye-catching pattern for its uniform perfection.
The contents of the Muan Sarn Sacred Clay reveal the essential elements expected from an authentic Pra Somdej Wat Rakang. The front face design is exquisite, as were all the block presses crafted by artisan Luang Wijarn, a royal artisan from the Chang Sip Moo group of craftsmen.
Pra Somdej Wat Rakang ranks among the classic Pra Somdej amulets of Somdej Dto, alongside Pra Somdej Wat Gaes Chaiyo and the Pra Somdej Wat Bang Khun Prohm. These amulets share popularity, beauty, sacredness from the Puttapisek ceremony, and a similar price range. Somdej Dto, the most celebrated Thai monk, and his Pra Somdej Wat Rakang, Gaes Chaiyo, and Bang Khun Prohm amulets (along with those from Wat Kanlayanamit, Kru Song Klong, and other hidden treasures) are the top choices in the Benjapakee Family, representing the highest tier of Pra Somdej amulets.
The Pra Somdej Wat Rakang amulet serves as the keystone and master amulet (Ongk Kroo) for all other Pra Somdej amulets. It features an image of the Buddha seated on a Dais, an iconic creation by Somdej Pra Puttajarn (Dto) Prohmrangsri of Wat Rakang Kositaram. Various 'Pim' (models) offer distinct design elements.
The Pra Somdej Wat Rakang, enriched with sacred powders and blessings from Somdej Dto, holds immensely potent Buddha magic. Crafted from a base of sea shells, dried rice from alms rounds, the five sacred magic powders of Somdej Dto, and 'Nam Man Dtang Iw' (a special oil for mixing), these amulets are renowned for their durability, even when submerged in water. The unique properties of 'Nam Man Dtang Iw' contribute to mold resistance, surpassing other oils like linseed oil.
The creation of a Dtamra, comprising exactly 84,000 amulets to match the number of Suttas in the Tripitaka, is a key criterion. Officially recognized Pim Song (shapes and sizes) of Pra Somdej Wat Rakang include Pim Pra Pratan, Pim Yai Niyom, Pim Chedi, Pim Prok Po, Pim Gaes Bua Dtum, Pim Gaes Talu Sum, and Pim Thaan Saem, as listed by the 'wongarn Pra Krueang.'
