Phra Med Bua Nur Phong BE2484 Phra Kru Son (Lp Son) Wat Makkasan, Bangkok

Phra Med Bua Nur Phong was crafted by Phra Khru Son, also known as Luang Por Son, from Wat Makkasan, Bangkok, in the year 2484 B.E. Luang Por Son was a disciple of Somdej Phutthachan Ma (also known as Than Chao Ma) from Wat Sam Plim, who was famed for creating the Phra Kring Lom Luk during King Rama V’s reign, with Luang Por Son serving as his assistant.

During World War II, the Thai government requested that esteemed monks produce amulets and sacred objects to provide protection and encouragement to the public. Among these were the Phra Kring of Than Chao Ma, and the Phra Chaiwat by Luang Por Son, which focused on protective qualities like Maha-ut (impenetrability) and Kongkrapan (invulnerability).

Luang Por Son crafted this series of amulets between 2480–2485 B.E. In addition to the Phra Chaiwat amulets made from mixed gold, he also created powder amulets incorporating Wan Sabu Lueat herb. These included both larger and lotus seed-shaped amulets. While some amulets were immediately distributed to the public, others were stored in a crypt and released shortly afterward. Some of these crypt-stored amulets have soil stains, though they lack solid crypt marks due to the shorter storage duration.

These powder amulets have aged over the past 70 years, often developing chips or cracks. It is recommended to choose well-preserved pieces, though such amulets are now scarce. The lotus seed mold amulets are small, about the size of a little finger, with a distinctive Buddhist identity. Their material is dry yet sturdy, combining old powder and oil, giving them a unique and appealing look without being harsh on the eyes.

The amulets are believed to bring fortune, loving-kindness, and protection from black magic, embodying blessings for all-around prosperity and protection.
