What is the Luang Pu Toh Phra Pidta Jumbo (พระปิดตาหลวงปู่โต๊ะ พิมพ์ใหญ่ จัมโบ้)?
A Phra Pidta (พระปิดตา) is a Buddha covering his face with his hands, eyes closed in meditation, symbolising the senses shut against distraction. In Thailand it is worn to hold on to wealth and to turn danger aside. Luang Pu Toh (หลวงปู่โต๊ะ) of Wat Pradu Chimphli (วัดประดู่ฉิมพลี), Bangkok, made some of the most sought-after powder Pidta in Thai collecting.
"Jumbo" (จัมโบ้) is the popular name for this large-size Pidta; the association's certificate records it as "พิมพ์ใหญ่ (จัมโบ้)", large mold. The Sukittima yantra (ยันต์สุกิตติมา) on the back is the yantra of this issue. This piece is from the second batch, Jumbo 2 (จัมโบ้ 2); the association certificate registers the mold as "พิมพ์ใหญ่ (จัมโบ้)", large mold.

Who was Luang Pu Toh?
Luang Pu Toh was a revered monk of Wat Pradu Chimphli in Bangkok, known for deep meditation and strict discipline; his Pidta and portrait amulets are held in very high regard by Thai collectors. According to the supplier, this issue was kept and blessed in his meditation hut for about three years (B.E. 2521 to 2523) before being given out, and the powders, in several versions based on old scripture, pollen or incense ash, included powder from early Somdej and other old amulets.
