Historical Significance
Issued in BE 2466 (1923 CE) at Wat Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khain Province, this Phra Nang Phaya Run Mrigadayavan reflects the spiritual flourishing of Hua Hin during the era of King Rama VI. The batch commemorates the royal summer residence Maruekhathaiyawan (Mrigadayavan) Palace and the growth of the southern coastal town as a devotional hub. Consecrated in a major Putthapisek (ritual empowerment) with participation from senior monks across central, western, and southern Thailand, the batch supported both temple development and regional merit-making.

Contextual Insight: This “Mrigadayavan Edition” links southern coastal Wat Hua Hin with the royal cultural programme of King Rama VI. The batch combines provincial southern style with capital-city ritual standards — a rare intersection of regional wicha (esoteric know-how) and royal patronage that makes this series historically and spiritually distinctive.
Temple of Origin & Master’s Discipline
Wat Hua Hin is a key monastery of the town’s early development, serving both local devotees and visiting officials along the Gulf of Thailand. The abbot, Luang Pu Nak, was known as a southern meditation master with strict Vinaya observance and deep familiarity with traditional wicha phra khruang (sacred object consecration). His approach emphasised careful selection of powders, disciplined chanting cycles, and calm, sustained samadhi throughout the molding and empowerment process — qualities reflected in the balanced proportions and composed expression of this Phra Nang Phaya.

Materials & Craftsmanship
| Material | Nur Phong Si Daeng Namon — sacred reddish powder blended from temple red clays, crushed ancient tablets, incense ash, flower pollen, ritual herbs, Namman Chan (perfumed oil) and Namon (holy water) from earlier consecrations. |
| Mold / Pim | Classic Phra Nang Phaya triangular pim with refined feminine lines, seated Buddha in high-relief within a sharp frame, typical of the Mrigadayavan batch. |
| Consecration | Large-scale Putthapisek at Wat Hua Hin in BE 2466, presided over by Luang Pu Nak with senior monks from several regions, featuring extended chanting (Itthipiso, Jinapanjara, Maha Karuna), meditation, anointing with holy water and oils, and royal merit-making for the Mrigadayavan project. |

Spiritual Function & Doctrinal Purpose
According to Thai Buddhist belief, Phra Nang Phaya is revered as the “Queen of Amulets”, supporting Metta Mahaniyom (loving-kindness and charm), Maha Lap (fortune and opportunity) and Klaew Klaad (evasion of dangers). The Mrigadayavan edition is often chosen by collectors and devotees seeking graceful authority, social respect, and uplift in status — especially suitable for women, entrepreneurs, and those in leadership or negotiation-heavy roles.
Rarity & Collector Significance
Assessed as collector-grade, early Mrigadayavan batch. Collectors look for the characteristic reddish Si Daeng Namon tone, naturally aged surface, and balanced Nang Phaya silhouette. Authenticated examples are certified by Thaprachan, reinforcing confidence in temple origin and BE 2466 dating. Well-preserved pieces with clear facial detail, crisp frame lines and original powder texture are increasingly difficult to source and sit firmly in the serious-collector tier.
