The all time world famous classic Pra Somdej Sae Yid Pim Khang U, made according to the Dtamra Pra Somdej Dto of Wat Rakang, by Ancient Olden Days Master, Luang Phu Poo (2373 BE - 2476 BE). LP Poo was Abbot of Wat Intra Viharn (Wat Bang Khun Prohm) from 2432 BE - 2475 BE, home of the Immortal Pra Somdej Wat Bang Khun Prohm of Somdej Dto P{rohmrangsri.) He was the prime first apprentice to Somdej Pra Puttajarn (Dto), of Wat Rakang. The Somdej Pim Sae Yid Khang U, is a Top Level Masterclass Amulet which is extremely rare to find, and carries price that is relative to its status in the Pra Niyom Masterclass Category.

Luang Phu Poo was one of the 10 Master Gaeji Ajarn Guru Monks to enter into the Dtamra Pra Somdej of Somdej Pra Poottajarn (Dto) Prohmrangsri for the adherence to the same Wicha of Muan Sarn Sacred Powder making as found in the contents of the Pra Somdej Wat Rakang Kositaram of Somdej Pra Poottajarn (Dto) Prohmrangsri. A Classic Ancient Amulet of Master Class Status and Legendary Proportion.

Luang Phu Poo was most famous for his Pra Somdej Sae Yid Khaen Hak Sork amulet, which was notable for the 'broken elbows' style of the curve of the Buddhas arms, sitting on a multi tiered dais. His most highly prized amulets go for well over five to ten thousand dollars, and one would be lucky to find any authentic amulet of his making under a thousand dollars, in any place at all in the present day.

A most attractive and in pristine condition Ancient Amulet from one of the Grand Masters of Pra Somdej and a Grand Adept of the Sacred Muan Sarn powder making of the Dtamra Somdej Pra Puttajarn (Dto) Prohmrangsri, and one of the most highly prized amulets in the Pra Somdej Category of Pra Niyom Masterclass amulets.

The Amulet features a Buddha seated on a multi tiered dais, with a highly defined grooved arch around him (sum). The details and relief on this particular exhibit are enviably clear and highly refined when gazing at the depth and contrast of the amulet, which has develoved the 'dtaek lai nga' crackled effect from the contraction of the Muan Sarn clay through evaporation of moisture over the years. This exhibity is 'Nuea Graeng' stony fossil stonelike texture, and a highly attractive exhibit indeed.

It is indeed a rare example for its clear detail and absence of serious wear and tear for an amulet of its age and pedigree, and can be hence considered an extremely desirable exhibit to have in one's possession, both for wearing and visual appreciation under the eye loupe when under study, as well as a dead certainty in competition shows, for prizewinning.

This Masterclass Pra Somdej Khang U amulet, is an absolutely beautiful example of one of Luang Phu Poo's most famous Classic amulets.

This amulet is not only an esteemed Pra Niyom amulet of High Value and Master-Class Category in itself, most certainly worthy of standing an excellent chance of first prize in any National Competition, but is an Ongk Kroo Reference Study Amulet for those who wish to perfect their visual ability to view and recognise the Pra Somdej amulets of Somdej Pra Poottajarn (Dto) Prohmrangsri of Wat Rakang Kositaram.

The reason for this is that the Powder amulets of Luang Phu Poo contain precisely the same formula of the five special powders (Pong Wised Ha Chanid) used by Somdej Pra Poottajarn (Dto) Prohmrangsri in the making of the Pra Somdej Wat Rakang Masterpiece. 'Ongk Kroo' means 'Teacher Amulet' and means that one can use it as a reference model for comparison of authentic amulets from the same Dtamra.

To own an amulet such as this, is to enter into the ranks of the Master-Class Collectors, and one can stand proudly in any community of collectors with one of these around your neck. Most certainly worthy and recommend-ably encased in solid gold casing, to do justice to an amulet that stands in the top ranks of Thai Buddhist Ancient Amulet Collection.
