This model is now extremely rare and one of the more highly sought after models with aficionados and devotees alike. Please note; Gold Casing Option for this amulet would be expensive due to the jumbo size of 5 x 3.5 Cm.

The amulet is estimable for its sacred Power of the Muan Sarn Sacred Powders, made from broken pieces of Old Pra Somdej Wat Rakang Kositaram Somdej Pra Puttajarn (Dto) Prohmrangsri amulets. This amulet is a perfect Ongk Kroo reference exhibit for diligent study of the various aspects and features of a true Master Class Pim Niyom model of Luang Phu Nak's Pantheon, and a Reference Study of the Dtamra of Pra Somdej Wat Rakang Kositaram.

The rear face is smooth to touch and shows authenticity through its dryness and the signs of aging when examined using the criteria used by experts for authentication of sacred ancient amulets. This exhibit has smoothed protuberances, and clear relief with dry, but dense compact surfaceใ The surface is and is highly defined relief, which is referred to in the special vocabulary of the amulet community as 'Nuea Jad' meaning 'highly defined'. The other main kind of texture found in amulets of Luang Phu Nak, and indeed Wat Rakang Kositaram temple in General is 'Nuea Graeng', which is a more marble-like domino-dense admixture which despite dryness, tends to have a shiny 'wet-look' to it.We find in the case of this exhibit, that both properties can be found present within this Pristine Exhibit, making it an even more attractive 'Ongk Kroo (Teacher Model) for reference study of the various aspects.

The features of the amulet are pristinely kept, and very clear detailed relief of the front face design is notable and extremely eye-catching. The amulet has survived well over half a century (written in 2560 BE), and kept its pristine appearance. The amulet is hence extremely rare both for the Pim Niyom Status as well as for its incredibly pristine condition, worthy of entering into competition, or for certification for posterity.

This exhibit is classed as 'Nuea Jad' type clay, meaning 'dry and hard dense surface, with clearly defined details'. This exhibit is an extremely attractive exhibit for the presence of these features. The features are pristinely preserved, with highly defined clear cut detailed relief, making this a truly desirable acquisition for collectors and devotees of the amulets of Luang Phu Nak, whose characteristics possess all of the major criteria for a Pim Niyom Class amulet of High Repute, Immensely Rare for its Popularity with the Amulet Appreciation Society collectors.

An authentic Ancient and Sacred amulet from Luang Phu Nak, one of the Great Abbots of Wat Rakang Kositaram temple. Luang Phu Nak used more old Pra Somdej amulets from Somdej Pra Puttajarn Dto Prohmrangsri, than any other of the Pra Somdej amulet makers of Wat Rakang History of all time.

This Pim was released in the year 2495 BE, and is an extremely rare Early Era Pim Niyom Amulet, so hard to encounter in the present day, and is a Must for all collectors of Luang Phu Nak's amulets, for its incredibly outstanding features and beautiful appearance, which makes it not only an amulet to wear with pride and confidence of its power, but also a showcase Master-Class amulet which any serious collector would be proud to have in his showcase.

The Pra Somdej Prok Po 2495 BE is a Classic Pim Niyom Model, amongst the most highly preferred by aficionados and devotees of the amulets of Luang Phu Nak and Wat Rakang Kositaram. The Pra Somdej of Luang Phu Nak were made mostly without Takrut, with a few special models having Takrut in the base. Sometimes the amulets may have 1 Takrut, sometimes 2, and on rare occasions, 3 Takrut were inserted into the base of some amulets. Those amulets which possess Takrut inserts are the most highly favoured, and of course, also quite often the rarest and most highly priced.

The Pra Somdej amulets made by Luang Phu Nak contained a massive quantity of crushed up Pra Somdej amulets made by Somdej Dto Prohmrangsri of Wat Rakang, which Luang Phu Nak had collected over the years, from Looksit who brought their broken amulets to return to the Temple, as well as a sackful he found in the roof of the Prayer Room ('Bote' in Thai).

They are thus the second choice of those wishing to posess the magic of Pra Somdej Wat Rakang LP Dto Prohmrangsri. Luang Phu Nak believed that the Pra Somdej amulets made by Somdej Dto had inimitable magical qualities and special power within the Muan Sarn (sacred powder used to make the amulets), and because of the meditative power of Somdej Dto who blessed them. Therefore apart from being made by one of Thailands great gaeji Ajarn, and being an authentic ancient Wat Rakang Amulet, it is also Sacred for the fact that it contaiins original Somdej Dto Wat Rakang Amulets in the Sacred Powder mixture.

This renders them even more powerful through the incantations and Yantra Inscriptions of Somdej Pra Puttajarn (Dto) Prohmrangsri himself, through transmission of Muan Sarn Sacred Powders. Luang Phu Nak's first edition of amulets was made in 2485 BE along with the Pra Somdej Song Taewada Ok Dtan, and Pra Somdej Song Taewada Ok Rong, the Pra Somdej Sam Liam (triangle shape), various Metal Coins, and the Pra Somdej Dto Nang Borigam models.

The first and second editions contained an extremely high quantity of Pra Somdej Wat Rakang, and is the most highly regarded, and now also rarest edition of amulets in the pantheon. The amulets of Luang Phu Nak began to disappear noticeably somewhere around the years 2545 BE. This happened as collectors from around South-East Asia and the Western world began to collect them more fervently, as a second choice to the now completely out of reach Pra Somdej Wat Rakang Kositaram of Somdej Pra Puttajarn (Dto) Prohmrangsri.

Since then, the amulets have become a truly rare sight to see in public showrooms and amulet markets, and this has served to increase the fervour to collect, which in turn, creates an increase in the rate of depletion, and rarity. One only has to do the Maths, to conclude that pretty soon, the only place we will find a Pra Somdej Luang Phu Nak, is when it is already being worn around the neck of a Devotee.

These days, it is extremely rare to encounter such a pristine exhibit of the first edition for rental (purchase). We would say that Luang Phu Nak's amulets are perhaps the most highly sought after in the present Era by those devotees of Somdej Pra Puttajarn (Dto) Prohmrangsri and Wat Rakang Kositaram, because they are 'the next best thing' to a Priceless Pra Somdej Wat Rakang Kositaram Somdej Pra Puttajarn (Dto) Prohmrangsri amulet. Amongst the other amulets which are sought after by the devotee of this lineage, are those of Luang Phu Hin, Jao Khun Tiang, both being Masters of the Wat Rakang Kositaram lineage, and who all have made amulets in conjunction with each other, and joined together in blessing ceremonies at Wat Rakang Kositaram.

The amulets of Luang Phu Nak tend to be very popular in the present era, as the best and most afforable way to Bucha the Pra Somdej Wat rakang, knowing the amulet is made almost exlusively from purely broken pieces of the original Pra Somdej of Somdej Dto Prohmrangsri. The next best thing, so to say. Other masters who enjoy popularity with devotees of Wat Rakang are Luang Phu Hin, and the Great Jao Khun Tiang. The great Luang Ta Pan may also be worthy of Mention, although his fame came from making amulets at Wat Bang Khun Prohm, which is also one of the top amulet temples of the Somdej Pra Puttajarn (Dto) Prohmrangsri lineage, and which are mostly also collected by devotees of Wat Rakang Kositaram.

In Thai, we call this 'Dtragun Diawgan' which means 'same family tree'. In our opinion, these are perhaps the next best thing to an original Somdej Dto, for an affordable price. Sacred Thai Amulets are intended primarily as Puttanus sadti (remembrance and respect to the Buddha), especially Pra Somdej.

Of course anybody would wish to own a Pra Somdej of the great Somdej Pra Puttajarn (Dto) Prohmrangsri, for his legendary Powers and Attainments, but realistically speaking, most people should look to something more affordable of similar calibre, for which the Pra Somdej Wat Rakang Kositaram Luang Phu Nak is a perfect recommendation for they contain the original Somdej Dto amulets within their Sacred Powders.

Recent years saw great fervour in the collector scene and the international scene, which has caused the amulets of Luang Phu Nak to go from rare, to become extreme rarities. They are no longer easily found, and their numbers have dwindled to become highly noticeable.

This has merely served to increase the fervour, and the very last amulets are now fast disappearing from the amulet scene, as they are snapped up and kept by their owners. If there was a time to hurry for amulets from this Master, the time is Now. The chances of owning an amulet like this are becoming less and less in recent years, and soon it will be practically impossible to obtain authentic old Wat Rakang amulets. There are ever more collectors and ever less amulets on the market, and there is no higher esteemed amulet than the Pra Somdej Wat Rakang Kositaram family.
