What is this 168 Hanuman plaque?
Hanuman (หนุมาน) is the monkey god of the Ramayana, known in Thailand as the Ramakien: loyal, brave, quick-witted and immensely powerful. Thais wear him for protection from danger, courage and goodwill. This plaque places the Buddha and Hanuman on one face: the Buddha seated above with celestial attendants on either side, and Hanuman supporting the throne below.
According to the supplier, the master visited a number of ancient sites in Thailand while designing the mold. The Buddha and the surrounding pattern follow Dvaravati (ทวารวดี) Buddhist art, whose soft, plant-like curves differ from the sharp flame-like lines common in Thai art today, and the Hanuman follows the composition of a Narasimha (นรสิงห์, the lion-headed form of Vishnu) stone relief in a museum in Nakhon Pathom, keeping the two celestial figures of the original.

About the master
Ajarn Jun is Phra Yakhu Jun (พระญาคูจุณฑ์) of Senasana Wat Pa Chao Sua (เสนาสนะวัตรป่าเจ้าสัว) in Ubon Ratchathani, rendered by Chinese-speaking collectors as "Wat Pa Chao So". Per the supplier, this "Mongkhon Phra Khun" 168 Hanuman is his B.E. 2568 design, and he is exacting about molds and materials; the finer the mold, the more pieces fail, so complete, crisp pieces are hard to come by.

FAQ
Q: What is the yellow card in the photos, and which card do I receive?
A: The yellow card is the Thai Buddha Image Admiration Association's authentication receipt, issued on the spot once a piece is judged genuine; the formal certificate is collected on the Thursday of the following week. This piece's yellow card is No. 00617, marked "แท้" (genuine), with the "มีซ่อม" (repaired) box left blank, dated 8 September B.E. 2569 (2026). The buyer receives the association's formal certificate.
Q: What is the Dvaravati style?
A: Dvaravati was the Mon culture of central Thailand from roughly the 6th to the 11th century, with Nakhon Pathom as one of its main centres. Its Buddha images have broad, gentle faces and rounded ornament. According to the supplier, this mold draws on that style.
Q: Can I wear a powder amulet every day?
A: Yes, it is in a waterproof case. Powder dislikes long soaking, so take it off for bathing or swimming.

A: People who travel a lot or work in risky jobs, anyone who needs nerve in a competitive field, and collectors drawn to ancient-style designs.
