An early-mid era example of Luang Por Pina’s most Sacred and Powerful Daw Nai Pan Nai Pon Star Amulet – Sacred Karma Improving Lucky Star for Protection, Wealthy Fortunes, Status Increase, Promotion, and Auspicious Fate. This exhibit is a Pim Lek (small size) measuring 2.5 x 2 Cm. The five sided star face is painted red, and the eight sided star side is painted silver. This exhibit is especially desirable to collectors for the fact that this exhibit has almost a full set of Ploi Sek Gemstones on both sides, which is rare to see in this early-mid era model, for most examples of this Pim, are found without gemstones.
This is the two sided 5 and 8 Pointed Pentacle version, in red/silver painted Muan Sarn Sacred Powders wth Ploi Sek Maha Pokasap Gem inserts. This particular example has special Necromantic Powders stuffed into the edge of the amulet, and, as a Pim lek model, is not only suitable for men, but also a very recommendable model for lady devotees due to the smaller size.
It is very hard to find Daw Nai Pan Nai Pon amulets in a suitable size for ladies to wear.. It is in any case extremely difficult to find one of these amulets in any circumstances, but to find one with an almost complete set of gemstones is doubly lucky.
This exhibit is a Pim Lek (small size) measuring 2.5 x 2 Cm, and is a very early era model in pure muan sarn, made from a very highly concentrated admixture of sacred Necromantic and Magical powders.
The Daw Aathan Hnun Duang has different stars on each side, one as a 5 pointed star similar to the Military Star, and one in 8 pointed Pentacle similar to the Police Force star. Despite their importance for the meaning which is attributed for the Military and Police force, which was of course intentional, there are deep spiritual meanings imbued within the symbolism of each star design.
This amulet is commonly know for its Wealth Increasing Maha Lap Magick, but in truth, the amulet possesses an massive repository of attributed Buddhist Blessings of very sacred and Auspicious Influences on the Forces of Karma.
The amulet is recommended to be encased with,with the pendant ring at an angle, which is a tradition with the Dao Nai Pan Nai Pon, as was originally decreed with the first edition Mae Nuea Horm (Perfumed Mother) Lucky Star (‘Mae Nuea Horm’ 1st edition, was differentiated being somewhat Larger with a crescent moon below the star).
The base of the amulet has a special code stamp embossed into it by Luang Por Pina. The powers of the Daw Nai Pan Nai Pon are manyfold, but has a special ability given by Luang Por Pina which Luang Por Pina would say goes like this; ‘whoever is not straight with you and cannot be trusted, will be spotted and exposed by the Dao Nai Pan or the Mae Nuea Horm, if you wear it at an angle like this’
When understood, the meanings within the sacred Lucky Star Pentacle amulets of Luang Por Pina, are very extensive and comprehensive, and aligned to the focal points of Advanced Buddhist Vipassana Kammathana Practices, with the accompanyiing Miraculous Power of transformation that comes with the 40 Kammathanas.
Luang Por Pina is the deceased Abbot of Wat Sanom Lao in Sra Buri and was said to have possessed Abhinya Powers, and to have Mastered the 10 Kasina Powers of Elemental Magical Dominion.
It is said that he was able to read the minds and intentions of other Humans, and bring amulets to life with is Empowerment Methods, and that his amulets were able to give signs and also can be beseeched and prayed to for wish fulfilment (Sarapat Neuk). There are many stories of Miraculous Events occurring through his amulets.
The Daw Nai Pan Lucky Star is made from a mixture of Highly Sorcerous Ingredients, Herbal and Prai Necromantic Powders, which are both incredibly difficult to find and obtain, and also very easy to recognise their presence within the sacred Muan Sarn Powder mixture.
Those who have had an authentic Daw Aathan before their eyes, will be able to see instantly that this amulet is a very recognisable and distinguished exhibit with the clear to see presence of Luang Por Pina’s Sorcerous Muan Sarn Sarn Powders.
Below is a different model (Namely the Mae Nuea Horm First Edition Amulet), for you to enjoy looking at and for study.
The holes in the amulet also have meaning, some of the daw Nai Pan Nai Pon can be found to have gemstones (Ploi Sek) embedded within the indentations, which are even rarer to find.
This particular exhibit is a Classic Pim from the Early period of Making (Circa 2500), and also one of the highly Preferred ‘Pim Niyom’ Master Models and can be considered ‘Ongk Kroo’ (Teacher Reference Model) for a perfect reference comparison of authenticating other less recognisable Star amulets of lesser preference.
‘Ud Mai Gon Fa Pa’ (Wood from a tree that was truck by Lightning), and many Sacred Relics within its Sacred Powder Muan Sarn. Luang Por Pina’s Daw Nai Pan, exspecially this model above others, is now extremely rare and sought after.
Its price is constantly rising, because only a few hundred Daw Nai Pan are assumed to have been made in the early Era, and they are mostly all already in the possession of the Devotees, many of whom are high ranking Policemen, Army Officers and Top Doctors and Medics.
This model is an early edition which is evidend by its extreme dryness and the texture of the Muan Sarn Sacred Powders which reveal its age, and the authenticity of the amulet
The title of ‘Ongk kroo’ is fitting for this amulet, is for its easily recognisable features and Muan Sarn Powders allow one to easily distinguish the authenticity of any other exhibit when held side by side for comparison, making it a Master Key for teaching the eyes to recognise Luang Por’s famous Sacred Powders, as well as the effects of aging over the years, as to how discoloration and surface mildews should appear in a true authentic example of the Daw Nai Pan. Despite being a painted model, the edges of the amulet are highly visible to reveal the Muan Sarn Sacred Powders content and aging characteristics, and the true appearance of the Muan Sarn used by Luang Por Pina for these inimitable and famously powerful amulets
Luang Por Pina is known to have performed strange Magical feats in front of the eyes of his disciples many times, especially when devotees would ask him for an amulet. He would ask the devotee to lay down and open their eyes, and would take a handful of sand and pour it over their face, as they would hold the amulet in the hand.
But the sand would bounce back before it hit their eyes, and no matter how much was poured on the face, not a single grain of sand would be able to enter the eyes of the devotee, becoming repelled as if by a force field before it touched the eyes.

A Truly Ancient Septa-Centenarian ++ Pra Kru Amulet (over 700 years old in origin), the Pra Pong Supan Pim Hnaa Gae, in Nuea Din, with certificate of authenticity, this exhibit is in a dark colored sacred baked earthen clay. An all time 'top 5' classic amulet of the Benjapakee Family. A Master-Class status amulet of the High End Category of Pra Kru Hiding Place Ancient Amulets. The Pra Pong Supan amulet is known for its powerful Puttakun Metta Maha Niyom Merciful Blessings and Kong Grapan Klaew Klaad Protective Power.
This amulet comes with A4 size certificate of authenticity included. The Pra Pong Supan Kru Wat Pra Sri Mahatat is the Number One Amulet of all Time for the Province of Supanburi, and an eminent member of the top 5 Benjapakee Amulets of Historical Fame and Legend. The Pra Pong Supan of the highest preference is the Pra Pong Supan Nuea Din Phao baked clay amulet, made from sacred earths of the Supanburi Province, which were mixed with sacred magical herbal powders and bound into clay with holy water.
The amulets are seen to have been baked for a long time slowly, until the clay became hard, but smooth and dense like marble, which is a texture that modern 'Nak Niyom Pra' amulet aficionados call 'Nuea Neuk Num Seung Jad', which means 'soft and smooth to the touch with highly refined features'.
There were also a very small amount (one potful) of leaden Pong Supan amulets found, which were found residing on the upper section of one pot, and are known as the Pong Supan Yord Tho, and are the rarest and most sought after of all Pra Pong Supan of the Kru Wat Pra Sri Mahatat.
Below : The extremely rare leaden version Pra Pong Supan Yord Tho Amulet, of which only very few were ever found
We shall be covering the documentation of the Pim Yord Tho in a different article on the pages of our website.
The method of baking the amulets resulted in a very hard and resilient amulet that does not break easily, which has contributed to its preservation over many centuries. The features of the Pra bordered edges and outer frame of the various models (Pim) of the Pra Pong Supan Amulet are highly varied, and cannot be said to fit any rigid form.
Some have four or five sided edges, some are completely cut to shape, some have wider edges, and others thinner edges, some are even others uneven. Some may be tapered, whereas others have the tapered top cut off flat.
The Pim is notable for its beautiful color tone to the surface of the Muan Sarn Sacred clay, accumulated over centuries,. This exhibit displays the presence of a very rich Muan Sarn admixture, and the surface sheen and detailed relief of the Buddha Image, combine to render an outstanding example of a Master-Class Pra Pong Supan amulet. The ears are elongated, with anomalous forms ('Dtamni'), that reveal the authenticity of the amulet, through the inimitable idiosyncrasies of the block press, which are ever present despite the individuality of each amulet.
One thing most Pra Pong Supan have in common is that most often one finds the presence of thumb or fingerprint line markings, or thumb indents on the rear face. Another classic and essential feature of the Pra Pong Supan Wat Pra Sri Ratana Mahatat is that due to being buried under the earth for centuries, the Kraap Kru earth residues which are seen stuck to the surface of the amulets within the deeper recesses such as the armpits and ridges between finer detailed features.
Below : Encyclopaedic work documenting the ancient find of the Kru Wat Pra Sri Ratana Mahatat amulets
These residues are completely affixed and one and the same with the clay, and cannot be removed by simply scratching it off with a fingernail. The Pra Pong Supan is a perfect choice of Amulet for Ladies or Children, but is also a very preferred and popular amulet for Males to wear. We have before us a Sacred Amulet whose Religious Value is of course that of a True sacred Amulet from the Master Class Category.
The Pra Pong Supan amulet is an image of the Buddha seated in the Mara Wichai posture of conquering the Demon Mara in the style of the U-Tong Periodic Era. The Buddha Image is seated on a single tiered dais, with a large head, graceful arms and protruding chest. There are various Pim (Models) of Pra Pong Supan, ranging from the Pim Hnaa Gae, Hnaa Num, Hnaa Klang, and other lesser known forms. Some very rare versions in black Nuea Bailan Powders are also found, but only very rarely
The Pim Hnaa Gae (old face) has one single type of face model but still has many different appearances, because of the various stages of heat during the baking process, which caused some amulets to experience shrinkage or curvature, or other anomalous reshaping during the process. Some may even have similar triangular appearance to the Pra Nang Paya, another Benjapakee amulet of Immortal fame. Various other amulets were also found including the Pra Mahesworn, Pra Ta Maprang, Pra Patum Mas, Pra Pim Lila (many versions), Pra Nakprok (small and large), and the Pra Sum Rakang.
The Pra Pong Supan and Benjapakee Class Amulets are truly world class amulets that receives the esteem and faithful reverence of all Thai Buddhist People of all social strata, and which is considered part of the Cultural and Historical heritage of the History of Siam.
They are amongst the most difficult of all amulets to find at any price, and are mostly already worn since generations by the same family members as handed down family heirlooms of their ancestors. The rest lie in the hands of the lucky, and of course the high end collector showrooms of Thailand's Amulet Societies and Non Profit heritage Associations, as well as the museums of the state and of major temples.

It is said that in the year 1265 BE, the Ruesi Hermit Pilalai decided to make a series of powerful amulets with truly effective powers. At that time the ruler of the Kingdom Pra Sri Tanmasokea Racha was a faithful devotee to the four great Ruesi Sages, who brought a large collection of magical herbs, minerals and summoned the angelic beings of the celestial realms to assist with the empowerment ceremony on the immaterial planes.
The great Pra Maha Thera Bpiya Dtassasisri Saributra was present to preside over the blessing ceremony, and assist with empowerment and the hand molding and pressing of the Pra Pong Supan. The muan sarn sacred clay was given the name of 'Nuea Rae Sangkwanorn'.

The great Pra Maha Thera Bpiya Dtassasisri Saributra was present to assist with empowerment and the hand molding and pressing of the Pra Pong Supan. The amulets were blessed during three whole months of rainy retreat (Traimas Blessing) as was traditional in ancient times and is still the practice to this very day. Once the Traimas empowerment was completed, the amulets were buried within the Chedi Stupas of Supanburi
The rediscovery of the Kru
In the year 2456 BE, a Tudong Monk was passing through and asked for the whereabouts of the temple of Wat Pra Sri Radtana Maha Tat. He asked a young boy named Pin, who pointed him in the right direction. The boy Pin heard later that this Forest Wanderer monk had hired some Chiinese-Thai devotees to dig up some holes in the temple, and that a horde of treasures were found along with a large repository of hiding place amulets (Pra Kru).
The Monk himself found a solid golden bowl which he took for preservation, but left all the rest of the contents of the Kkru within the Chedi. However, many of the Chinese devotees who were working on the opening of the Kru did take a large number of amulets rainging from the Pra Pong Supan to the Pra Gampeng Sork.
Once the authorities and Sangha Office heard of this, they ordered the Chedi Stupa to be hermetically sealed to prevent further theft of National heritage treasures.
Later the same year Praya Suntorn Buri (Also knownn as 'Ee Gan Suudt'), who was the Minister of the Province of Supanburi invited his Majesty Pra Mongkut Glao Jao Yuu Hua to come and open the Kru Chamber. Once the chamber was opened, many ingots of solid gold and silver with Khom Agkhara inscriptions were found, and a large repository of amulets. The King was given a large number of the Pra Pong Supan and other amulets to his Majesty.
In olden days when the Pra Pong Supan was still very common and easy to find, many of the bullfighting arena players would like to grind up broken Pong Supan amulets and mix the powders into the hay they would give their fighting bulls to eat. This was seen to make the bull who ate hay with Pra Pong Supan powders fight more fiercely, evade the horns of its opponent and be impenetrable when taking a hit.
A very hardly known but ancient traditional way to Bucha Pra Pong Supan Amulets, is to immerse the amulet in perfume and chant Puttakun Tammakun Sangkakun 108 Times, then chant the Kata Pahung 3 times. The perfume can then be used to smear on oneself for Mercy Charm and Protection. If one wishes to empower further, one can chant the following Kata;
Ka Dtae Lig Gae Garanang Mahaa Chayyang Mangkalang Na Ma Pa Ta Gi Ri Mi Dt Gu Ru Mu Tu Gae Rae Mae Tae Ga Ra Ma Ta
