Historical Significance
Released in BE 2529 (1986) by Wat Arun Ratchawararam, this Somdej Song Kaiser Pim Yai is part of a major devotional project preserving classical wicha. Materials were curated over decades and empowered in formal Putthapisek under the Supreme Patriarch with a grand assembly of senior monks. The “Crack Model” surface is a well-known result of the large powder content and traditional drying.
Obverse detail — smooth shoulder arcs, “Kaiser” curve at the chest, and even press density across the pedestal tiers.
Materials & Craftsmanship
Sacred powder (Nur Phong) incorporating historic Somdej powders (Wat Rakhang, Wat Intharaviharn, Wat Mai Amataros, Wat Paknam—Roon 1/4/6), temple soils, relic powders, floral pollens, and traditional binders. Pim Yai (~3.8 cm) shows soft press rhythm, crisp five-lotus base, and micro-fissures from authentic curing—a collector’s tell.
Reverse — temple crack mould mark; powder stratification.
Spiritual Attributes
Devotees venerate Somdej Kaiser for Klaew Klaad (protection/evasion of danger), Metta Mahaniyom (affinity, support), and Maha Lap (good fortune). The Pim Yai is favored for daily wear—balanced presence without the heft of Jumbo.
Side/detail — even slab thickness, rounded press edges, and natural micro-voids typical compression.
Materials Collected (Highlights): Soils from the Four Holy Places in India (Lumbini, Bodh Gaya, Sarnath, Kushinagar); historic Somdej powders (Wat Rakhang, Wat Intharaviharn, Wat Mai Amataros, Wat Paknam Roon 1/4/6); relic/temple powders (Wat Chaiyo, Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Nang Phaya, Wat Phra That Cho Hae); gold pollen powders; laterite and minerals; 108 pollens; traditional binders (cooked rice/banana); metallic traces from temple offerings. Nine candle-lighting rites led by the Supreme Patriarch with 99 senior monks.
