What is the Luang Pu Yeam B.E. 2557 "little rabbit" Kuman Thong (กุมารทองหลวงปู่แย้ม)?
A Kuman Thong (กุมารทอง) is a traditional Thai child figure, kept as a small guardian who looks after its owner and draws goodwill and customers; it is usually enshrined at home or in a shop. Wat Sam Ngam (วัดสามง่าม) in Nakhon Pathom is one of the best-known Kuman Thong temples in Thailand, and Luang Pu Yeam's (หลวงปู่แย้ม) figures are the signature pieces of its tradition.
This piece dates from B.E. 2557 and is listed by the supplier as the batch for the master's 100th year. The "little rabbit" name comes from his zodiac sign: Luang Pu Yeam was born in the year of the rabbit, and according to the supplier a rabbit appears beneath the figure. His teacher Luang Phor Tae was also a rabbit, and rabbits appear on his amulets too.

According to the supplier, he served as abbot of Wat Sam Ngam and carried on the Kuman tradition of the former abbot Luang Phor Tae Kongthong (หลวงพ่อเต๋ คงทอง), a lineage known for strong goodwill and real help in work and business; the supplier also states that he passed away at the age of 102. Several Thai monks share the name "แย้ม", so collectors always specify Luang Pu Yeam of Wat Sam Ngam.
