4th piece of LP Pu Somdej - 2nd Placing

 I have a lot of fate with LP Poo phim Taan Khu. It is not the most popular or most expensive phim. The most popular and expensive is phim Sae Yit. But I just keep coming across in my life. In the past I have owned Phim Taan Khu khen Klom and Khen Keap.

There are 4 pim of Taan Koo pattern (i.e. Khen Keap, Khen Kwang, Khen Hak Sork, Khen Klom). Most popular and expensive out of these 4 is pim Taan Koo Khen keap (narrow arm). However, it also depends on condition of amulet a lot, how it looks like, aging of the amulet.

The one shown here is Pim Taan koo khen Hak Sork. It looks very old with all the right features of LP Poo somdej. It is so easy to see. And I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. Many friends that saw it thought this is few hundreds years old. It is not. About 100 + years old.

Biography:
LP Pu is one of the only 2 disciples of Somdej Puttajarn Toh. Real and recorded in book of Wat Rakhang. Others like Ajarn Pa, LP Nak, LP Hin are all not disciples of Somdej Toh and has not learn from Somdej Toh before. He was the chief abbot of Wat Inn or Wat Bang kum prom during. Years ago, they were the same. 

The other one is Somdej Pilant who took over Somdej Putarjarn Toh as abbot of Wat Rakhang after Somdej Toh passed away. Both are still very much affordable as compared to Somdej made by Putarjarn Toh, Wat Rakhang.

In terms of material, huge amount of Somdej Toh powder were mixed to made this somdej. Hence, the material looks very much alike. Furthermore, this somdej is already close to 100 years ago. Thus, the texture, dryness etc looks alike. On the other hand, they are direct disciple of Somdej Toh. 

Thus, the closest replacement of Somdej Toh amulet are undeniably those phra made by either LP Pu or Pilant.

LP Pu was born in 2372 and passed away in 2476. He was 104 years old and had been a monk for 84 years. A very well respected monk during the olden days as he was from royal family of Thai Prime Minister equivalent back then.

LP Pu Somdej Prices

Only 2 years, more than 40% of upside. What kind of investment better than amulets collection ??

Saw nice somdej Saeyid Kan hark Sok by LP Pu. The last i asked, it was 180k THB. Pretty good condition. Now, above average condition with cert all above 230k THB. So, buying and collecting amulet is better than buying share i think. Agree? Haha!

But still one must understand the mechanic of amulets world. Which amulet will have upside short term and which are increasing gradually for long term gain and which is just market hype. Not all will have that kind of upside. Some are the same price for the last 5 years. No change.

Prices determination:
- Popularity
- Demand
- Rarity
- Market
- Big players that collect it

Majority of the factors that decide price upside are the above. Sad to say not so much due to effectiveness of the amulets as many of the blessed amulets coupled with one good doing, and positive aura, will have good effect ultimately.

My 2 cents worth!

Somdej bangkhum prom 2502 lp lampoo

Sharing this nice piece of somdej bangkhum prom 2502.

Made by lp lampoo,  the wat bang khum prom abbot then.in 2502.

Mixed with huge amount of broken pieces of bang khum prom fragments and powder.

In 2500, old chedi was broken into by thief. Many old somdej was stolen. Left behind many broken pieces somdej thief left behind. Lp lampoo collected many of these n in 2502 made this batch. This batch was kept in a jar n buried under the tree in front of lp lampoo kuti. In 2519, this batch was dug out, stamped with temple red ink chop and put back to the old chedi. Only after 2541, it was removed from chedi and released to public.

There are two types. Dry n wet. The wet one was due to soaking in water n dries up over the year. Thereby forming a skin like surface like moon crater under close magnification. This is one important factor to see when buying lampoo somdej.

The one shown here is pim yai. There are three. Expensive pim according to lp lampoo book. Pim ket talusum, pim song jedi meehoo and pim yai. Cheapest is pim prokpoh. Of course prices depends greatly on condition of amulets.

And i have another piece without red ink (yant daeng) behind. Price 20% lower..

Prices have steadily increased over the years. Few reasons.

1. Mixed with huge amount of broken old bkp fragments n powder.good replacement of the multi million baht old bkp somdej.

2. Made by lp lampoo who is disciple of l.p. poo, lp parn n l.p. Aee. Very powerful monks n their amulets are all at very high price now.

3. Proven efficacy on Metta and business success.

Enjoy!
