Phra Pidta Na Gae (Ivory) BE24XX — Phra Archan Eid (Archan Yiad), Wat Don Sala (disciple of Phra Archan Thong Dao, Wat Khao Orr)
Historical Significance
The Phra Pidta Na Gae attributed to Phra Archan Eid of Wat Don Sala stands within the Southern Thai lineage of Wicha (esoteric knowledge) handed down from Wat Khao Orr. According to collector records and oral tradition, pieces from this period (BE24XX) were prepared for protection, quiet fortune, and dignified presence in daily life. The iconography of Pidta—hands covering the eyes—signifies retreat from distraction to cultivate inner clarity and moral restraint.
Contextual Insight: Within the Khao Orr tradition, Na inscriptions and sacred powders are combined through measured consecration cycles. Collectors value early Wat Don Sala works for their disciplined ritual chronology and the master–disciple continuity from Phra Archan Thong Dao to Phra Archan Eid.

Temple of Origin & Master’s Discipline
Wat Don Sala served as a regional locus for Khao Orr ritual craftsmanship. Phra Archan Eid—a direct disciple of Phra Archan Thong Dao—transmitted the temple’s disciplined methods: selection of materials, formation of Na yantra, and stepwise empowerment. This continuity is central to the amulet’s provenance and collector confidence.
