Pra Somdej Bang Khun Prohm
Pra Somdej Bang Khun Prohm is one of the
classic Pra Somdej amulets available and is
along with Pra Somdej Wat Gaes Chaiyo
perhaps the next in line to the Pra Somdej
Wat Rakang amulet as far as popularity,
beauty, sacredness of Puttapisek ceremony
and price range.
Pra Somdej Bang Khun Prohm Kru Pra Chedi Yai
(Large Chedi Kru amulets)
The Pra Somdej Bang Khun Prohm amulets
classified as a Kru Pra Chedi Yai, have 9
different Pim Song, and were made in the
period between 2411 and 2413 BE
These 9 Pim are; Pim Yai, Pim Sangkati, Pim
Song Chedi, Pim Prok Po, Pim Gaes Bua Dtum,
Pim Thaan Koo, Pim Sen Dai, Pim Ok Krut.
The Pra Somdej Bang Khun Prohm (Wat Mai
Amataros) amulet.
Pra Somdej Wat Bang Khun Prohm Pim Sen Dai 3
of a kind
The above examples Of a Pra Somdej Bang Khun
Prohm Pim Sen Dai (Kru Chedi Yai), are
recommendable objects for reference study
and comparison of the Muan Sarn content and
Surface features.
The clay has condensed and hardened and
become shiny like a domino, from passage of
time and atmospheric changes. This results
in a very smooth surface, which reveals the
various characteristics, tonal qualities and
markings as well as particles of Muan Sarn
present which are in extreme visible
evidence.
Ru Khem are visible in the rear faces of Pra
Somdej Wat Bang Khun Prohm, as well as
‘Sanim Grapong’ – the red rust particles.
The hardness of the amulet to the touch
reveals its age. The downward curving lines
of the lower double ‘Thaan Saem’ (split Dais
model) are a perfect example of the features
sought after in a reference model. The
cracks are like deep crevices, showing the
shrinkage factor of drying over long time
periods. “Phiw Jantr’ – Moon surface.
Pra Somdej Bang Khun Prohm Nine Top Pim
Not all of the Pra Somdej Bang Khun Prohm
were placed in the Kru, it took many years
to create and press them and many would be
in a receptacle in the Kuti and would be
handed out by him during the time he created
and empowered them. This explains the
absence of Kraap Kru, as well as being
purely logical and the most probable chain
of events to have occurred. The Thaan Saem
is one of the 5 Pim Song of Pra Somdej,
which exist in both the Kru Wat Rakang and
Kru Bang Khun Prohm amulets. Pra Somdej Wat
Rakang have Five major category of Pim Song,
whereas the Pra Somdej has four more Pim
Song, making it nine major Pim in all.
History records that, in the year of the
Dragon 2411, Samian Tra Duang Tongoses made
restoration work Wat Bang Khun Prohm Nai
(Wat Mai Amataros), and renewed the temple
along with the building of a new Chedi
Stupa, in order to place Pra Somdej amulets,
which Samian Tra Duang invited Jao Prakhun
Somdej Pra Puttajarn (Toh) Prohmrangsri, of
Wat Rakang Kositaram to place there, as well
as to empower. The amulets were made in the
Somdej Traditional formula of 84,000 pieces
(same as the number of suttas of the Pra
Tammakhant).
After Somdej Toh had blessed and empowered
them, Samian Tra Duang was allowed to place
then in the Kru hiding place within the
Chedi Stupa behind the Upopsadha shrine
room. During the time from then, the Chedi
was sometimes accessed and amulets were
removed from time to time, and even some
thieves dug holes and stole some. This
became so bothersome that the Kru had to be
broken open officially on 24th November in
2500 BE. The opening took all day, until at
approximately 8pm, the very last Pra Somdej
amulets were removed. Many of them were very
thickly coated with ‘Kraap Kru’ (residues
and growths).
The amulets were allowed to be rented out by
devotees, until the year 2509. The total
amount of money raised from the rental of
these amulets amounted to about 4 Million
Thai Baht.
This money was used to construct the new
Uposadha shrineroom, and the renovate and
restore the old Chedi Stupa, as well as
making a bronze statue of Tan Jao Prakhun
Somdej Toh, which was completed and
celebrated in 2509 at the same time as
celebrating the building of the Putta Sima
(temple walls), and the burial of the ‘Look
Nimit’ (all Uposadha shrine rooms must have
a Look Nimit ball buried under it).
Pra Somdej Bang Khun Prohm 2509 BE
Masterpiece amulet
Pra Somdej Wat Bang Khun Prohm 2509 BE
In that year of 2509, a new set of 9
different ‘Pim’ (models) of Pra Somdej
amulets were created and released. In
addition, a special Pim was released too,
namely ‘Pim Saiyaas’ (Sayasana Buddha in
laying down position). These 2509 edition
amulets were made using broken pieces of
original Somdej Toh Bang Khun Prohm amulets,
as part of the Muan Sarn sacred powders.
Once again, according to tradition of Pra
Somdej making, 84,000 amulets were made.
Apart from the Somdej Toh amulet pieces,
broken amulets of Somdej Luang Ta Pan 2502
BE were also added to the mixture, and also
from Luang Por Lampu, who both had used
pieces of the 2500 BE Kru opening of the
Somdej Toh Prohmrangsrit amulets to make
their own Pra Somdej.
