Main obverse — “Sao 3 Humban” triple-pose Khun Phaen; fine powder matrix with visible pressed grain.
Historical Significance
Issued in BE 2544 (2001 CE) at Wat Ta Ee, Buriram, this edition by Luang Pu Chuen Tiknyano reflects the Northeastern (Isan–Khmer) devotional current that blended charm (saneh) rites with protective wicha (esoteric methods). Consecrated in Putthapisek (ritual empowerment) with temple devotees, it supported community needs and temple works while continuing LP Chuen’s renowned Khun Phaen lineage.

Side/detail — even edges, light hand-press marks; binder sheen minimal.
Contextual Insight: “Sao 3 Humban” references three compositional attitudes of Khun Phaen on the obverse, symbolising wisdom, compassion, and protection. The Lang Kuman back draws on the Kuman Thong guardianship belief for prosperity and safeguarding. LP Chuen’s formula synthesises Khmer-influenced wicha for Metta Mahaniyom (loving-kindness/popularity) with practical protection (Klaew Klaad).
Temple of Origin & Master’s Discipline
Wat Ta Ee is noted for Isan–Khmer ritual craft and community-centered blessings. LP Chuen’s discipline emphasised meditative focus and ethics before wicha application, reflected in the balanced proportions and clear iconography. The tradition of putthapisek (“Buddha-empowerment rite”) and katha (chant cycles) guides the sacred process here.
