What is the Phra Pidta Maha Ut, Jong Ang Suek batch (พระปิดตามหาอุตม์ รุ่นจงอางศึก)?
A Phra Pidta (พระปิดตา) is a figure covering its face with its hands, closing the senses to outside harm; in Thailand it is worn to ward off danger and to keep wealth from slipping away. "Maha Ut" (มหาอุตม์) is the form that seals every opening of the body: besides the hands over the face, further hands guard the lower body, meaning that nothing harmful can get in.
"Jong Ang Suek" (รุ่นจงอางศึก) is the batch name: "jong ang" is the king cobra and "suek" means battle. According to the supplier, the batch was made in B.E. 2514 to protect soldiers going to war, and Thai collectors also call it the "Ork Suek" (going to war) batch.

FAQ
Q: What does the certificate say?
A: The Thai Buddha Image Admiration Association formal certificate reads "พระปิดตามหาอุตม์หลวงพ่อทบ รุ่นจงอางศึก เนื้อผง พ.ศ. 2514", temple "วัดพิกุลทอง", province "สิงห์บุรี", No. PM03631, issued 13 October B.E. 2569.
Q: How is a Maha Ut different from an ordinary Phra Pidta?
A: An ordinary Phra Pidta usually covers only the face. A Maha Ut also guards the lower body, symbolising that every opening is sealed, so the protective meaning is more complete.
Q: Can I wear a powder amulet every day?
A: Yes, ideally after fitting a waterproof case. Powder dislikes long soaking, so take it off for bathing or swimming.
Q: Who is it suited to?
A: People who travel often or work in risky jobs, anyone who wants to keep trouble and ill-intentioned people away, and collectors of old central-Thai powder Phra Pidta.
Q: Why do I request first and pay later?
A: This piece is held by a partner supplier rather than in our Bangkok stock. So that nobody pays for a piece that has already gone, we confirm with the supplier first and reply by email within 24 hours. If it is available, the email includes a payment link valid for 24 hours.
