What is the Luang Phor Ngern Puen Taek big-head cast image (Roop Lor Luang Phor Ngern Run Puen Taek Phim Hua To)?
Luang Phor Ngern (หลวงพ่อเงิน) is one of Thailand's most revered monks for wealth; "เงิน" itself means money or silver. A "Roop Lor" (รูปหล่อ) is a cast, three-dimensional image of the master, the classic form of his amulets.

Luang Phor Ngern and this batch
Luang Phor Ngern is a household name in Thailand for wealth, and images of him have been issued by several temples over the years, so collectors look first at the temple and batch named on the certificate. The certificate for this piece records Wat Khongkharam (วัดคงคาราม) as the issuing temple.
According to the supplier, the batch was consecrated in November B.E. 2528 with several senior monks taking part, and the metal is said to include damaged old images, an old bronze bell and ancient Buddha images unearthed beneath the temple, melted down and cast together. The batch was cast on a tree-style sprue, which is why the base shows the mark where each image was cut away; the mark can be seen on this piece.
