Description

Phra Nang Phaya amulet made of blessed earth mixed with sacred powder, small mold, created in B.E. 2514 by Luang Pho Thanom of Wat Yang Phaya, Phitsanulok Province. This is an earth amulet made in the form of Phra Nang Phaya, which is one of the important mold types of Phitsanulok. Luang Pho Thanom is a venerable teacher-monk of Wat Yang Phaya who has continuously practiced religion and developed the temple. His amulets were created in many forms, including earth amulets, powder amulets, and coins, mostly created to support the activities of the temple and preserve Buddhism. Phra Nang Phaya is a mold type that originated from Phra Kru Nang Phaya of Phitsanulok Province, which has been revered as one of the Five Companions amulets. Subsequently created amulets typically follow the Buddhist art form of the ancient Phra Nang Phaya as a prototype, with details adjusted appropriately for creation in each era.
