Historical Significance
Issued circa BE2450–2470 (1907–1927 CE) at Wat Rachayota under Luang Pu Thong (LP Thong), this early Rattanakosin Phra Chao Ha Phra Ong votive tablet reflects a period when Thailand’s modernization intersected with deep devotional practice. According to temple tradition, these pieces were pressed and blessed to safeguard devotees while supporting the monastery’s communal works through meritorious distribution.
Front obverse — Five Buddhas arrangement; compact early Rattanakosin clay matrix.
Contextual Insight: Five-Buddhas (Ha Phra Ong) imagery symbolizes an unbroken stream of awakened wisdom across eras. Such tablets were often produced as protective tokens (khrueang rang) and as temple fund-raisers, linking communal merit with practical sanctuary in rapidly changing times.
Reverse — aged clay surface showing century-old desiccation and natural wear.
Temple of Origin & Master’s Discipline
Wat Rachayota (Bangkok) maintained a reputation for steady meditative training and compassionate community service. Under Luang Pu Thong, the crafting and blessing of Nur Din tablets followed disciplined ritual: materials prepared with chant cycles, mindfulness cultivation, and Putthapisek empowerment to align form, doctrine, and benefit.
DD-Pra Committee certification — institutional authentication of period, composition, and lineage.

Spiritual Function & Doctrinal Purpose
According to Thai Buddhist belief, this tablet supports Kongkrapan (protection), Klaew Klaad (safe passage), Metta Mahaniyom (kind regard and popularity), Maha Lap (good fortune), and Maha Ut (obstacle-stilling). Devotees wear it for calm confidence and steady protection amidst worldly change.
Rarity & Collector Significance
Assessed as Extremely Rare. Surviving early-20th-century Nur Din tablets from LP Thong show high attrition; authenticated examples with sound surfaces and clear impressions are collector-grade. DD-Pra certification materially strengthens provenance and scholarly value.
