What is the Luang Pu Ram Naga Prok Bai Makham, Setthi batch (Phra Nak Prok Bai Makham Luang Pu Ram Run Setthi)?
Phra Nak Prok (พระนาคปรก) shows the Buddha in meditation after his enlightenment, sheltered by the naga king Mucalinda, who coils beneath him as a seat and spreads his seven heads as a canopy against the storm. In Thai tradition it is the guardian Buddha for people born on Saturday and is worn above all for protection. "Bai Makham" (ใบมะขาม, tamarind leaf) is the Thai name for this small, finely detailed shape, easy to wear close to the skin.
This piece is the "เศรษฐี" (Setthi, wealthy man) batch made under Luang Pu Ram (หลวงปู่ราม) of Wat Wang Ngoen (วัดวังเงิน), Sukhothai, in B.E. 2560, and the association certificate states that it is silver. According to the supplier, it is the first batch of Luang Pu Ram's Bai Makham Naga Prok.

The back has "เศรษฐี" at the top, three vertical yantra columns, two lines of Khmer letters, and three lines below: "หลวงปู่ราม", "วัดวังเงิน จ.สุโขทัย" and "๒๕๖๐". It is sealed under a clear waterproof layer in an engraved gold-tone case with loops on the left, right and bottom plus a bail on top, so it can be worn on a cord or chain.
