What is the Chao Sua 2nd batch (Phra Phong Phim Sum Krachang Run Chao Sua 2)?
"Chao Sua" (เจ้าสัว) is the Thai word for a wealthy merchant tycoon, traditionally of Chinese descent, and the name carries the sense of wealth and powerful backing. These amulets come from Wat Klang Bang Kaew (วัดกลางบางแก้ว) in Nakhon Pathom: the Buddha is seated within an arched niche (ซุ้มกระจัง), and in Thailand they are known for wealth and support from influential people.
The association certificate records this piece as "รุ่นเจ้าสัว2 (สร้างพิพิธภัณฑ์)": the 2nd Chao Sua batch, made to fund the temple museum, issued in B.E. 2535 in sacred powder. According to the supplier, the first batch was made around B.E. 2470 by an earlier senior monk of the temple and is now very hard to obtain, while the second was made in B.E. 2535 under Luang Phor Jiaw and blessed by many senior monks over several months.
