What is the Luang Phor Parn five-tail rooster mold (พระหลวงพ่อปาน พิมพ์ทรงไก่หาง 5 เส้น)?
Luang Phor Parn Sonanto (หลวงพ่อปาน โสนันโท) of Wat Bang Nom Kho (วัดบางนมโค), Ayutthaya, is famous for baked-clay amulets showing the Buddha seated on an animal, which Thai collectors call his animal-mount amulets. The mounts include the rooster, bird, fish, elephant and Hanuman, and each mount comes in several molds.
This is the five-tail rooster mold: the rooster beneath the Buddha has a tail of five sweeping strands, recorded on the association certificate as "พิมพ์ทรงไก่หาง 5 เส้น".
