About the Item

A vintage Phra Somdej Buddhist amulet in a richly decorated gold case, blending spiritual symbolism with fine craftsmanship. -Crafted in solid 24K gold -Measures approx. 7/8" x 1.25" x 0.25" -Weight: 14.1 grams -Hand-engraved frame with intricate Thai motifs -Acrylic crystal cover protecting the seated Buddha -Dating to the 1970s The gold-encased Buddha is typically made with sacred lime and herbal powder paste often mixed with temple dust and incense ash, then formed by being pressed in to hand-carved molds by monks while chanting. Phra Somdej amulets are regarded as the "King of Amulets" in Thai culture, originating in the 19th century with the revered monk Somdej Toh of Wat Rakang. They depict the Buddha seated on a stepped throne within an arched frame, symbolizing enlightenment, protection, and spiritual authority. Collectors value them not only for their devotional power but also for their artistry and historical associations. This example features a flowing hand-engraved 24K gold casing from the 1970s, complete with traditional motifs and an acrylic crystal to preserve the sacred image. At once wearable as a pendant and collectible as a devotional piece, it embodies both spiritual resonance and refined craftsmanship. Condition: Excellent vintage condition with gentle wear consistent with age.
