Description

The Pra Pong Rasamee (Radiant Light Buddha) is a masterpiece of the early 20th-century Bangkok school. Tan Jao Chuy, the abbot of Wat Sam Plerm, synthesized this series using pulverized ancient palm-leaf manuscripts and fragments of broken ancient Buddha images discovered within the temple’s hidden chambers. It was released during a time of immense social and political change, serving as a spiritual anchor for the people of Siam.

Direct Succession: The Lineage of Jao Ma

Tan Jao Chuy’s status as the primary heir to Jao Ma’s wicha is the defining factor in this amulet’s value. The Pra Pong Rasamee is widely accepted as having the same protective and prosperity-enhancing properties as Jao Ma’s legendary Pra Chaiwat. It is an “Emperor of Powders,” designed to safeguard the bearer from all peril while attracting Metta Mahaniyom.

The Deep-Stamped Yantra Signature

A critical diagnostic point for this 2475 BE series is the Deep-Stamped Yantra (Ang) on the reverse face. This indelible mark confirms the authenticity and the specific consecration rites of the Wat Sam Plerm lineage. Encased in a vintage frame, this specimen is not just a sacred object but a living document of Thai history.

Conclusion: A Value Beyond Valuation

This specimen, preserved in exceptional condition, offers the serious collector a chance to own a piece of the Wat Sam Plerm legacy at a fraction of the cost of Jao Ma’s early metal casts, with no compromise in sacred power or historical significance.
