Description
Phra Somdej Song Hanuman • BE 2495 (1952 CE)
Wat Bang Phang, Nonthaburi • Nur Phong Namon (Oil-infused Sacred Powder)
Main obverse — Somdej–Hanuman hybrid iconography; oil-enriched powder field with calm sheen.
Historical Significance
Issued in BE 2495 (1952 CE) at Wat Bang Phang by Luang Phor Chaeng, this edition reflects the post-war devotional revival and temple fundraising era. Consecrated in Putthapisek (ritual empowerment), it served both restoration needs and the community’s wish for protective and dignifying blessings.
Reverse — stratified powder bed with oil migration; natural press grain visible.
Contextual Insight: The Somdej form signals purity and doctrinal centrality, while Hanuman adds valour and perseverance. Within LP Chaeng’s wicha (esoteric method), Nur Phong Namon (oil-infused sacred powder) was prized for durability and serene lustre — features collectors still study today.

Temple of Origin & Master’s Discipline
Wat Bang Phang (Nonthaburi) is known for practical, protection-oriented wicha and austere design language — clean proportions, measured relief, and devotional functionality. The practice of katha yuk (“methodical chant cycles”) guided empowerment and wearer conduct in this period.
