Overview of the “Phra Pidta (พระปิดตา)” format with reverse Yant Tao (ยันต์เต่า, “Wealth Turtle”) — shown as a certified listing piece (Thaprachan).
What This Piece Represents (Collector Lens)
In Thai amulet culture, Phra Pidta (พระปิดตา) is one of the most “quietly powerful” devotional formats: the image language emphasizes restraint, inner protection, and “closing off” harmful influence. This specific piece is presented as Lang Yant Tao (หลังยันต์เต่า) — a reverse yantra referencing the “turtle” symbol of steadiness, preservation, and long-term fortune in the collector imagination. The listing states an early year (BE2435) and identifies the tradition to Wat Phra Ngoen; where historical details are not fully documented in the listing, we keep the notes as attribution rather than absolute proof.

History & Lineage Context
The listing identifies the amulet as BE2435 and links it to Wat Phra Ngoen. For pieces described as “early era,” collectors typically look for coherent material aging, surface “old powder” character, and consistent iconography across known references. The exact commissioning purpose (issue objective, donor event, or documented ceremony) is not specified in the provided listing content, so it should be treated as an attributed timeline rather than a fully documented release record.
The monk attribution is presented as Luang Phor Khram (LP Khram / LP Kram). If you require a stricter historical chain (who presided, which assistants, which date), that verification usually comes from temple records, long-form collector books, or certificate registry cross-checks — none of which are included in the text provided here.
Temple context is referenced through the issuer name Wat Phra Ngoen. The listing does not specify additional temple-history notes or a formal “batch name / roon” label for this piece; therefore, we keep the description focused on what is visible and what is explicitly stated.
About “Nur Phong Bailan” (Collector Material Notes)
“Nur Phong” indicates a sacred powder-based composition (เนื้อผง), while “Bailan” (ใบลาน) is commonly used by Thai collectors to describe powder traditions linked to palm-leaf manuscript material and aged, temple-associated powders. As with many old powder amulets, the most careful reading is done through texture, dryness, porosity, and how the surface has “settled” over time (without forcing certainty where the listing does not provide lab-style proof).
- Texture cue: powder body tends to show fine grain, pores, and natural matte character rather than a glossy “new” finish.
- Age cue: older powder pieces often carry gentle tonal variation (patina) from storage and handling; exact burial/keeping method is not specified here.
- Collector discipline: treat “Bailan” as a traditional descriptor unless supported by clear, documented material provenance.
Design Language: Phra Pidta + Lang Yant Tao
The Pidta format is recognized for its contemplative, protective symbolism — “closing the senses” from disruptive forces. The reverse “Yant Tao” (turtle yantra) is presented by collectors as a sign of stability, guarded wealth, and endurance. In practice, serious evaluation combines (1) the clarity and correctness of yantra structure, (2) how it integrates with the material body, and (3) whether the overall “era feel” matches what is claimed.
Traditional Spiritual Attributes & Metaphysical Properties
Devotees often associate Phra Pidta with kุ้มครอง (protection) and แคล้วคลาด (safe passage / avoidance of danger), while the “wealth turtle” yantra is framed in the language of มหาลาภ (fortune) and “keeping what you earn.” These are traditional attributions within Thai amulet belief culture — they are not guarantees, and outcomes depend on personal conduct, context, and the devotee’s practice (ทำบุญ, discipline, and intention).
- Protection focus (คุ้มครอง): worn as a steady “shield” charm for daily environments.
- Safe passage (แคล้วคลาด): collectors often pair Pidta with travel or risk-heavy work settings.
- Wealth preservation (มหาลาภ): “Tao / Turtle” symbolism is read as slow, stable growth and guarded resources.
Rarity Assessment & Collector Significance
This listing positions the piece as “rare” and early (BE2435) with a specific reverse yantra theme, and it also references Thaprachan certification — all of which can increase collector attention. That said, the listing does not provide a documented production ledger, issue quantity, or temple archive citations; therefore, the strongest “rarity” indicators here remain (a) the certificate presence, (b) coherent material/era cues in the photos, and (c) how well the yantra matches recognized references. For high-value decisions, collectors typically cross-check certificate details and compare against known exemplars from reputable reference sources.
Conclusion
Phra Pidta Lang Yant Tao in Nur Phong Bailan is the kind of piece collectors keep for its symbolism: quiet protection, steady fortune, and a “sealed” personal boundary — expressed through Pidta posture and the turtle-yantra concept. With the listing’s Thaprachan certification reference, it is presented as a serious collector-class item; the most responsible next step is always independent verification of certificate particulars and reference comparison before final commitment.
