It sits in an enamelled case with three rings and white stones (stated by the supplier to be silver with enamel).

One piece only; it is held by a partner supplier, so please submit a request and we confirm availability by email within 24 hours.
What is the Luang Phor Khun six-arm Phra Pidta (พระปิดตาหลวงพ่อคูณ)?
Phra Pidta (พระปิดตา) is a classic Thai amulet type: the Buddha covers his face with his hands, closing the eyes, ears and other senses to temptation and distraction. Thais believe a Pidta keeps harmful people and influences at bay, so it is worn for protection from misfortune and ill-wishers, and often for windfall luck too.
There are two-arm and multi-arm forms. The two-arm Pidta is the most common; multi-arm versions with four, six or eight arms also cover the ears, navel and so on, and are traditionally associated more with protection. The supplier lists this piece as a six-arm mold.

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. 00453, amulet name "หลวงพ่อคูณ ปริสุทโธ" (Luang Phor Khun), 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: Is it solid silver?
A: The supplier states that both the amulet and the case are solid silver. The yellow card records only the amulet name and authenticity, not material or year, and we have not tested it separately, so please treat this as the supplier's description.
Q: What is the difference between two-arm and multi-arm Pidta?
A: The two-arm Pidta is the most common and is traditionally worn against gossip and for wealth; multi-arm versions also cover the ears, navel and so on and are traditionally associated more with protection.
Q: Who is it suited to?
A: People who travel a lot or work in risky jobs, anyone wanting distance from gossip and ill-wishers, those hoping for windfall luck, and collectors of Luang Phor Khun's work.
Q: Why do I request first and pay later?
A: This piece is held by a partner supplier rather than in our Bangkok stock. So that nobody pays for a piece that has already gone, we confirm with the supplier first and reply by email within 24 hours. If it is available, the email includes a payment link valid for 24 hours. Submitting a request costs nothing.
