%202.png)
Collector Lens: In the Khun Phaen world, “Marawichai” pieces are often collected for two reasons at once: the iconography of victory-over-obstacles, and the quiet seriousness of old sacred clay that has lived in a temple environment. This listing is presented in a modern waterproof casing, but the collector’s eye still returns to the same fundamentals: clay maturity, mineral speckling, natural crusting, and proportion fidelity.

Historical Background
- Year of Creation: BE2482 (1939)
- Creator (attribution in supplied content): Luang Phor Mui Buddharakkhito of Wat Don Rai
- Enshrinement Location (supplied content): Wat Bot Kao (Old Chapel), Suphan Buri Province
This edition is presented as one of the earlier sacred clay creations connected to Luang Phor Mui. According to the supplied notes, the amulets were enshrined within an old crypt/chamber of Wat Bot Kao and later discovered during restoration works. In collector language, that “crypt-kept” narrative matters because it frames why genuine examples often show natural crusting, mineral inclusions, and mature clay skin that cannot be rushed.
Material & Design Features
- Material: Fired sacred clay mixed with consecrated powders and spiritual materials (as provided in your content).
- Type / Posture: “Marawichai” — the Buddha seated, calling the Earth to witness victory over Mara.
- Dimensions: Approximately 2.8 cm (W) × 4.8 cm (H).
- Texture & Age: Fine clay texture with visible mineral particles; age-related crusting consistent with older temple-kept pieces (as described in your content).
A practical collector note: the modern waterproof casing protects the surface from humidity and handling. It does not “create” authenticity, but it can preserve a fragile, older clay piece from further wear.
Consecration Ceremony (Traditional Framing)
The supplied content states the amulets were personally consecrated by Luang Phor Mui using traditional methods, with an intensive, prolonged empowerment process aligned to older ritual discipline. In Thai amulet culture, this is understood as “making the piece complete” — material preparation, correct ritual structure, and the devotee’s respect-based practice all reinforcing the object’s role.
Believed Powers and Blessings
Worshippers of the Phra Khun Phaen “Marawichai” edition traditionally associate it with:
- Metta Maha Niyom (เมตตามหานิยม): warmth, popularity, and smoother social outcomes.
- Charming Presence: confidence and “people magnet” quality often discussed in Khun Phaen culture.
- Protective Power: a sense of being guarded from harm (physical + unseen influences).
- Success & Fortune: support for advancement, opportunities, and momentum in life pursuits.
Remarks for Collectors
The supplied notes describe this edition as rare and highly regarded among collectors due to sacred origin, historical value, and perceived effectiveness. In practical collecting terms, old sacred clay is always evaluated holistically: clay maturity + natural surface behaviour + proportion and line integrity + provenance story coherence.
