What is the Chao Khun Phon Phra Pidta, Na Hua Khao mold?
Phra Pidta (พระปิดตา) is the Buddha covering his face with his hands, a gesture of closing the senses and shutting out misfortune and gossip. In Thailand it is worn above all for protection, avoiding danger and keeping hold of wealth. Wat Nang Ratchaworawihan (วัดหนังราชวรวิหาร) in Bangkok is a renowned temple for metal Pidta, and the Pidta of its earlier master Luang Pu Iam (หลวงปู่เอี่ยม) are still keenly sought by collectors.
This piece was issued by Chao Khun Phon (เจ้าคุณผล) of Wat Nang. According to the supplier, Chao Khun Phon was a successor in Luang Pu Iam's line, with the ecclesiastical title พระสุนทรศีลสมาจาร. "พิมพ์นะหัวเข่า" means the "Na on the knees" mold: each knee carries the Thai sacred syllable "นะ", a characteristic mold in this line of Pidta.

Wat Nang and Chao Khun Phon
Wat Nang, on the Thonburi side of Bangkok, is a long-established royal temple best known for the metal Pidta of Luang Pu Iam's line. Pieces made by Luang Pu Iam himself now command very high prices, so amulets from later masters of the same temple have become a natural choice for devotees who want a Wat Nang Pidta.
According to the supplier, Chao Khun Phon inherited Luang Pu Iam's methods, and the lead for this batch included old metal Pidta material and sacred powder left by Luang Pu Iam. These points come from the supplier; the association certificate records the amulet name, mold, material, date and temple.

FAQ
Q: What does the certificate say?

Q: Why is the date a range?
A: Pidta of this line were made over several years, so the association records them as "around B.E. 2507–2509", as printed on the card.
Q: Is the case solid gold?
A: The supplier describes it as a thick gold case. We have not tested the case, and the certificate does not cover it. If this matters to you, mention it in your request and we will ask the supplier before replying.

A: People who travel or drive a lot or work in risky jobs, anyone wanting to stay clear of trouble, business owners who want to hold on to their earnings, and collectors of Wat Nang Pidta.
