Description

Ajarn Tom | BE 256X | Size: 7.8 x 2.6 cm 
1 piece only
(Estimated 5–8 years old)

This is an early-era Prai Ngan Ta Daeng, also known as Gradook Prai Ngan Ta Daeng — the red-eye ngan — by Ajarn Tom.

Pieces like this surface rarely.
Once they leave, collectors usually keep them, and as a result, they seldom reappear.

During this period, makers did not prioritise appearance.
Instead, they focused directly on function and effect.

Therefore, practitioners kept materials deliberately limited in number.
They selected each component for what it delivered, not for how it looked.
Meanwhile, large or showy material displays remained uncommon.

Because of this approach, performance mattered more than presentation.
This piece reflects that mindset clearly and consistently.

Materials & Early-Era Character

Ajarn Tom chose only two core materials, and he did so intentionally:

• Gradook

• Very thick Nam Man Prai

The Nam Man Prai defines this piece.
It appears dense, heavy, and unusually thick.
Based on its appearance and behaviour, it is likely pure, or very close to it.

At that time, certain forms of Nam Man Prai remained far more accessible and affordable.
As a result, practitioners could use the oil freely and in higher concentration, without dilution or cosmetic concern.

Today, that environment no longer exists.
Consequently, pieces from this era often carry a steadier, deeper presence that modern work struggles to replicate.

Because collectors recognise this difference, they rarely release such pieces once acquired.

Front Carving & Craftsmanship

The front of the amulet shows hand carving.

By today’s standards, the carving may look less refined.
However, this style accurately reflects the era.

The maker carved the surface by hand, most likely while chanting.
At the same time, the focus stayed on continuity, intent, and effect, rather than symmetry or polish.

These marks do not signal flaws.
Instead, they show how craftsmen actually worked at the time.

Rather than impress visually, this amulet aims to settle in, work quietly, and remain consistent over long periods.

Once a piece like this leaves, it rarely returns.

Based on ancient & traditional beliefs, this is said to:

• Support wish fulfilment when intentions remain clear and non-malicious
  (harmful wishes bring karma, not “backfiring”)

• Improve wealth flow, business performance, career movement, sales, gambling luck, and windfall opportunities

• Strengthen interpersonal influence and therefore attract benefactors (贵人), allies, and supportive connections

• Support status growth, leadership presence, authority, and respect

• Enhance charisma, saneh, and metta, which improves attraction, communication, and relationship harmony

• Increase confidence and persuasive energy, making speech and intentions more convincing

• Provide protection against physical and spiritual harm, including krongkrapan in critical situations

• Help distance backstabbers and malicious individuals (小人) who create hidden obstacles

Altogether, this is Prai Ngan Ta Daeng from an earlier period — restrained, steady, and increasingly difficult to replace.
Once placed with the right owner, it rarely surfaces again.
