Overview — A Phra Somdej Pim Phutta Kesorn, attributed in the listing to Chao Khun Tieng (CK Tieng) of Wat Rakang Kositaram, estimated BE2500–2507.
Why Collectors Like This Pim
Pim Phutta Kesorn is one of those Somdej styles that feels “gentle” when you first look at it—clean lines, calm expression, and a soft overall balance. Some collectors describe it as a more graceful mood within the Wat Rakang family. If you like Somdej that’s not overly aggressive in details, this pim usually hits the right spot: simple, refined, and very wearable as a daily “foundation” piece.

History & Context (BE2500–2507)
This listing places the amulet in the BE2500–2507 window under Chao Khun Tieng (CK Tieng) at Wat Rakang Kositaram. In the collector world, that era matters because it sits in the modern continuation of Wat Rakang’s Somdej heritage—where the temple’s senior monks kept the Somdej tradition alive for devotees who wanted something rooted in the classic lineage, but created in later years.
The listing doesn’t provide a batch name (รุ่น) or ceremony notes, so the best approach is disciplined: treat the date range and monk attribution as the stated identification, and rely on reference comparison—shape, proportion, surface character, and “overall feel”—to judge how well it matches accepted Pim Phutta Kesorn examples.
Purpose & Symbolism
“Phutta Kesorn” is commonly understood by collectors as a name that carries a gentle, uplifting meaning—often explained as a “Buddha-blossom” idea: purity, growth, and calm strength. For many devotees, Somdej is worn like a steady anchor—something that reminds you to stay composed, keep your actions clean, and walk your path with dignity.
Design & Pim Notes
Pim Phutta Kesorn is usually appreciated for balance more than “sharpness.” Collectors often check the overall silhouette first: the arch, the central seated figure, the spacing, and how naturally the elements flow together. When a piece is good, it looks calm and complete—nothing feels squeezed, and nothing feels overly forced.
Material Notes
The listing does not state the exact material. For Somdej, that’s not unusual—many sellers focus on pim and lineage first. When material isn’t clearly stated, collectors typically judge from what they can see: texture, surface aging, natural tone variation, and whether the piece “reads” like it belongs to the stated era.
- Surface texture should look consistent (not overly glossy or chemically “fresh”).
- Edges and raised points usually show the most honest wear and age.
- Compare with trusted references for Pim Phutta Kesorn under CK Tieng’s era.
Traditional Spiritual Attributes
In Thai practice, Somdej is often worn for stable protection and supportive luck—especially as a “base” amulet you can rely on every day. Many devotees also associate Wat Rakang Somdej with dignity, respect, and a calm aura that helps you move through people and situations more smoothly.
- คุ้มครอง (Protection): steady safeguarding for daily life.
- เมตตา (Metta): smoother relationships and better social support.
- หนุนดวง (Supportive luck): a stable “foundation” energy for work and life rhythm.
Rarity & Collector Significance
The listing describes this as “Rare,” but it doesn’t provide production numbers or official documentation—so rarity can’t be confirmed as a hard fact here. Still, Pim Phutta Kesorn is a style many collectors actively look for, especially when the piece shows strong proportion, a natural surface, and clear “Wat Rakang Somdej” presence.
