Somdej Pilant Prok poh (Deep mold)

Sharing another piece of Somdej Prok Poh made by Somdej Pilant of Wat Rakhang about 243x. This is a piece with better condition and clearer face features as compared to my previous 2 pieces.

Clear frame and unrepair. No touch up. Doo Ngai. Condition about 6.5-7/10.

For one to experience Somdej pilant, this is considered an entry piece at very affordable price. A top condition piece of deep mold can go up to 100k THB. But, it is hard to get. Even those featured in Pilant book, condition is only about 7-8/10. Refer to pictures..

As for history of Pilant and why it is very collectable, I will not elaborate more as I have described it many times in previous posts. Both my friends who are wearing Pilant can vouch for the efficacy of the Somdej. :). Most notably, career progresses much faster than expected and stronger mind to withstand adversity.

Enjoy!

Somdej Pilant Pim Krop Keaw Yai (1st n 2nd certs)

So tied up with works n didnt have time to blog. :)

Today i want to share an excellent piece of somdej pilant pim krop keaw yai (glass shield).

This was made by somdej pilant n is one of the highly saught after pim made in early era. Rare n hard to find a real piece at such good condition. Almost can guarantee winning at least 3rd or 4th in every competition.

Many of u know that somdej pilant was direct disciple of somdej puttarjarn toh. He was also the abbot of wat rakhang after somdej toh. Later batches of somdej wat rakhang by somdej Toh were also co-chanted by pilant. So. No argument to say that wearing a somdej pilant is the same as wearing a somdej wrk.

The material is of bailan (burn scripture) n mix with 5 powders from somdej toh. This is easy to verify with aging signs n unique material formation of somdej pilant material. This adds a lot of value to this somdej. Other than pim sum prathu n pathom tesana, this the third most expensive. Haha!

1st placing in TOT competition last month n 2nd in today's competition (12 Oct) at Pantip organized by Samakorm.

Enjoy!

Phra Phrom LP Doo Nur Pasom

Sharing another piece of LP Doo, Wat Saket popular phra phrom.

LP Doo is from the lineage of AC Heng and LP Si that made the most expensive phra phrom in Thailand. The ngern metal stamp cost 100,000 thai baht. This phra phrom made by lp doo, in 2522 is of great condition. With jarn written by lp doo clearly seen on surface of the back of amulet. Not all metal phra phrom have "mee" code on the side. without code it costs only 17000 baht. but this one has code. No code one are not made by lp Doo. But other temple pass to him for giving to devotees. This piece the code is deep n clear.

For nur pasom, the more yellow it is, means more brass and thus it will be more expensive. if more red, means more copper. thus price lower. if copper only, price only 25000 baht.Total phra phrom metal made 10,000 pieces. there are copper, mix (nur pasom) and brass. Copper cheaper and brass most expensive.

Enjoy!

Photos of recent big competition attended -Bitec bangna competition by samakom 14 sept 2014

Huge crowd n one that is hard to forget as i submitted more than 10 n only 4 get placing.really difficult to win. Too many submission. Many of my friends tumpang me to compete but none get any placing. Hai...

Lesson learnt. If want cert, pick smaller scale samakom competition. If have super good condition or rare phra, then go for such big one. If not wasted all your money.

Krueng Rang No. 1 - Hun Payong

For the next 2 days, i am going to blog about Hun Pa Yong. For the longest time, i dare not touch this krueng rang as it looks really evil to me. It resembles those small doll used by black magician to cast spell on people. and even though hun payong starts making waves in Singapore, i dare not touch or collect.

Until recently, a collector whom i respected the most explain to me and also share with me his collection. i then realize it is different. I shall explain more the next post.

Somdej wat rakhang 108 anniversary 2523

Time flies. I remember dad brought us to temple of wat rakhang many years ago n collected some amulets n I was just like few years old. Years later dad told me he rented some 108 n 118 from temple directly when it was launched n he also bought from dealer too. So, he got few pieces of Roy pee and 108 n 118..

Many years have passed n now these somdej are highly sought after. Especially Roy pee as it mixed with high content of old somdej toh powder n chanted by master monks of that era.

But, how many more left unnoticed in drawer or cupboard. After 1 generation, it is luck that I manage to find them. Next generation comes, I believe my son's will just think these are figurine of no value. Hai!

Showing here is 108 anniversary Pim A. The most expensive Pim of 108. Excellent top condition.

Roy pee somdej wat rakhang 2515

Sharing 4 pieces of my way rakhang somdej Roy pee (100 years anniversary of somdej buddhachantoh)  made in 2515. Mixed with high amount of old wat rakhang powder.

I have shared many Roy pee in my blog, but what I have not shared are the masterpiece of my collection.

Pim khaipla. For Roy pee,  there are 17 pims n price range from 10000 thb to 60000 thb depending on Pim. Pim khaipla is one of the principle mold Whete many ppl like cause it is all hand made n not many fake in market. As usual these pieces shared are standard materials n pim. This is what I like.

Also, what makes this so unique is that they are all featured in the Roypee bible (hard cover), page 146 n 147. It has been used as standard Pim to demonstrate to ppl how Pim khaipla yai looks like n the markings available.

Rare in market to find Pim khaipla yai at this condition.
