Main obverse — famed Peacock Pattern batch (Roon Waew Nkyung), BE 2482 (1939 CE).
Historical Significance
Issued in BE 2482 at Wat Nong Pho (Upalaram), Nakhon Sawan, this Roop Tai (photographic portrait amulet) was consecrated by Luang Phor Derm Phutthasaro, revered as the “God of Pak Nam Pho.” In a period marked by regional uncertainty, the Peacock Pattern series functioned as both devotional keepsake and protective talisman, empowered in Putthapisek rites for courage, safe passage (Klaew Klaad), and benevolent authority (Maha Amnaj).
Side profile — shows vintage Nur Kradas lamination and age toning.
Contextual Insight: The Peacock Pattern (Waew Nkyung) symbolizes charisma and auspicious dignity. Paired with the rear yantra (Lang Yant), the formula reflects LP Derm’s protective wicha for leadership presence, warding danger, and drawing noble patronage.
Temple of Origin & Master’s Discipline
Wat Nong Pho is renowned for its forest-practice lineage and discipline in protective and authority rites. LP Derm’s method emphasized meditative stillness, compassionate Metta transmission, and the tradition of Kongkrapan Chatri (“invulnerability discipline”), echoed in the batch’s design and empowerment.

Spiritual Function & Doctrinal Purpose
According to Thai Buddhist belief, this amulet supports Klaew Klaad (safe passage), Kongkrapan Chatri (invulnerability), Maha Amnaj (authority/commanding presence), Metta Mahaniyom (loving-kindness/popularity), and attraction of wealth and noble support. Devotees wear it for protection in duty, leadership roles, and auspicious advancement.
Rarity & Collector Significance
Assessed as collector-grade rare. Early Roop Tai on Nur Kradas are fragile; well-preserved Peacock Pattern pieces with intact Lang Yant are scarce and command premium valuation. Authenticated examples are recorded across major associations and competitions.
