Main obverse — Pidta sheltered by the coiled “King Cobra” motif, a vigilant emblem of protection and awareness.
Collector Lens
Among Luang Phor Pae’s widely collected Pidta lineages, the “Chong Ang Ork Suk” (often described as “the serpent emerging from its burrow”) is instantly recognizable for its triangular framing and the cobra guardian presence. The symbolism is layered: Pidta teaches inward restraint, while the cobra represents alertness — calm mind, sharp awareness.

Historical Significance
Issued in BE2514 (1971 CE), this Pidta belongs to a well-studied period of LP Pae’s Wat Pikulthong output, where devotional craft and temple welfare moved together. Collectors often treat 2514 as a “sweet spot” year: strong iconography, clear press lines, and a mature sacred powder tradition.
Obverse detail — the triangular Pim and cobra coil rhythm are key identifiers of the Chong Ang Ork Suk style.
Contextual Insight: In Thai symbolism, the cobra is a guardian of thresholds. Pairing it with Pidta turns the message inward: close the doors of distraction, keep the mind protected, and move through adversity with awareness.
Temple of Origin & Master’s Discipline
Wat Pikulthong is widely respected for LP Pae’s community work and disciplined consecration culture. In collector memory, amulet-making here was not treated as “manufacture” but as work of merit — guided by chanting, concentration, and charitable intent.
Reverse view — powder layering, press tension, and edge maturity are useful study points for LP Pae’s Nur Phong work.
Materials & Craftsmanship
- Material base: Nur Phong Phuttakhun (sacred powder matrix), pressed to a firm, dense body.
- Blend tradition (collector framing): commonly cited “protective + authority + blessing” powder families associated with LP Pae’s workshop lineage.
- Pim structure: triangular frame; cobra coils encircle the central Pidta form; clear press boundaries assist authentication study.
- Craft cues: crisp coil definition, stable surface, and natural edge wear (not over-cleaned).
Spiritual Function & Doctrinal Purpose (Belief Framing)
In Thai Buddhist belief, this Pidta format is sought for Klaew Klaad (evasion of danger), Maha Ud (shielding), and Metta Mahaniyom (smooth relationships), with Maha Lap (fortunate outcomes) in daily livelihood. The deeper teaching is simple: guard the mind first — then external protection follows.
Collector Notes
For this Pim, collectors focus on: (1) cobra coil clarity, (2) facial/hand silhouette of Pidta within the triangle, and (3) unforced surface maturity. Pieces that remain “study-clean” (not aggressively scrubbed) tend to be preferred for long-term collection.
