Pra Khunpaen (Supann Buri) - collectors item!

This is one of a half dozen Pra Khunpaen amulets i found at Wat Pah Maha Chanok. Origin; Supannburi. Medium; Clay cement, baked. Size; about 2.5cm high. This is a traditional style Khunpaen made in typical Supann Buri method (baked clay, hand made), according to the ancient ways of making amulets. These amulets were also buried for some years to accumulate power, until they were left or lost in the temple of Wat Pah Maha Chanok. They have been identified as coming from the Prajao U Tong Era, the cement is obviously ancient as it is very hard, dry and smooth to the touch, which is what we call 'sampas phiw kon boran' in Thai, meaning it has been worn against the skin of ancient people - in olden times people did not encase their amulets, they used cloth or leather and left the back face to the air to touch the skin. This sweat and rubbing makes the amulet very smooth and slippery to the touch as well as hard and dry from aging over centuries

I am prepared to distribute a few of these amulets maximum. I once rented one  single one out, for the stupidly cheap price of 60 dollars, which now after recognition and identification cannot be done, for the funds from this amulet will go to help the building of Wat Pah maha Chanok, where they were found. These amulets let me find them for this purpose, i am convinced.
Contact me for details - only few in existence.

Pra Gru Tham Suea various Pim

Pra Gru Tham Suea Na Gae Na Num
These are the different kinds of Pim (mold) of the Pra Gru Tham Suea amulets i found at the temple of Hlwong Por Dte. The amulets were buried after being brought there by a monk who was travelling on Tudong, who brought them from Supannburi
 The original Pra Gru Tham Suea was reputedly created by the hand of Ruesi Por Gae Dta Fai, in Kanjanaburi.

These amulets exist in small and large (small are almost run out already). Apart from small and large size, the faces have two different styles; Na Gae (old face) and Na Num (young face with long ears). These amulets still are covered in earth that they were buried under, and i feel should remain so because the earth itself is Sacred too.

Hlwong Por Dte has allowed me to distribute some of these amulets to help funding for the completion of the 7 Buddha statues,as well as forthcoming projects. He lives alone in the forest temple of Wat Pah Maha Chanok, and has only 2 Buddhist homesteads in the area so cannot successfully go on alms round. He is finding it difficult to maintain the place alone,for which i sometimes go and stay to try to help a little. These amulets cannot be sold for too high a price, because LP Dte says that he doesn't want to ask too much. For this reason i can let them go for 50 dollars (Singapore), although they are of more worth than other amulets available for this price. In addition i have permission to reduce the price on more than one amulet. There are two bowls of them only, which means about only 200 amulets available in existence. For me, these are authentic amulets with a story to them. Each of the amulets is hand made, which can be noted by the varied markings and shapes of the back sides of each amulet,as well as each image on the front being slightly different too.

$50SG for one amulet, $90SG for two, or 130 for three.
