1. Historical Background of Wat Bang Krang

Wat Bang Krang is a venerable temple situated along the Chao Phraya River in Nonthaburi Province, with origins dating back to the late Ayutthaya period (circa 17th century). Known for its deep cultural and spiritual heritage, the temple served as both a religious sanctuary and a place of refuge during times of war and unrest.

Over the centuries, many sacred artifacts were interred within the temple’s ancient stupas (chedis), which later became known as “Kru”—hidden chambers of amulets that were rediscovered during restoration efforts.

2. The Discovery of Phra Khun Paen Kru Pim Na Klom

Phra Khun Paen from Wat Bang Krang was unearthed during a temple restoration, discovered within a kru (reliquary pit). This amulet is classified under the Pim Na Klom type, meaning “deeply sunken face” or “concave facial feature” — a distinctive characteristic of this mold.

These amulets were crafted during the late Ayutthaya period, making them over 400 years old. The style and material clearly reflect the sacred artistry and religious devotion of that time.

3. Amulet Description

• Material: Ancient baked clay (nur din) mixed with sacred herbs, pollens, and relic powders.

• Texture: Coarse but compact due to long burial; traces of age include soil deposits, mineral crusts, and natural aging fractures.

• Front: Shows Phra Khun Paen seated in the Mara Vichai (Victory over Mara) posture.

• Back: Often plain or may have traces of ancient fingerprints or pressed lines.

• Style (Pim Na Klom): Characterized by a deep facial imprint, distinct sharp features, and high relief body structure — unique to this early-generation mold.

4. Sacred Purpose and Power

Phra Khun Paen is widely revered in Thai culture for:

• Metta Mahaniyom: Attractiveness and charm

• Maha Sanaeh: Popularity and romantic appeal

• Kongkraphan Chatri: Protection from danger and harm

• Klaew Klaad: Avoidance of accidents and misfortune

• Choke Lap: Luck and prosperity

Because it was buried and consecrated for centuries, its spiritual potency is believed to be extremely powerful, making it highly sought after by amulet collectors and believers alike.
