Luang Pu Tuat Medu Taeng Amulet, Wat Chang Hai, B.E. 2522, Alpaca Nickel-Plated Frame

Description

The Luang Pu Tuat Medu Taeng amulet was created in B.E. 2522 by Wat Chang Hai Rat Boran Ram in Pattani Province as an auspicious object to commemorate and support the temple's activities. It continues the tradition of producing Luang Pu Tuat amulets that have been maintained continuously following the era of Luang Ajarn Tim Thammathorn. The name "Medu Taeng" (meaning melon seed) comes from the amulet's small oval shape, which resembles a melon seed—a designation used among amulet collectors. This design is popular with devotees and collectors due to its compact size, making it suitable for carrying daily or wearing as a pendant. This amulet is crafted from alpaca metal with nickel plating, a material commonly used for amulet production in the late 2520s era. The plating gives the surface a bright silver finish and enhances the amulet's durability. The surface color may change over time according to age and storage conditions. Luang Pu Tuat stepped on fresh seawater and is a revered venerable monk.
