Luang Phor Parn Phra Khi Kai (Buddha on a rooster), three-tail rooster mold, made at Wat Bang Nom Kho, Ayutthaya, around B.E. 2460 (1917): an earthy-brown amulet more than a century old.

Mounted in a heavy gold-tone case set with white stones, stated by the supplier to be 90% gold. Authenticated by the Thai Buddha Image Admiration Association, No. 03893 (barcode GJ08-04B1D), with the association's formal certificate card included with the piece.
