Phra Sum Thawan Nur Din BE2325 is one of the oldest sacred amulets linked to the early Rattanakosin period. Crafted from sacred clay blended with scripture ashes, it reflects the spiritual heritage and protective power of the Thai royal era.
Rediscovery and Historical Context
In B.E. 2496 (1953), temple staff discovered hidden relics while investigating a chedi at Wat Chana Songkhram. The excavation revealed a large cache of ancient Buddha statues and amulets. Thailand’s Fine Arts Department confirmed these artifacts dated back to the reign of King Rama I, attributed to Prince Maha Sura Singhanat after his victory in the Nine Armies War.
Craftsmanship and Composition
The amulets were handmade with temple earth and Bailan scripture ash. Each Phra Sum Thawan Nur Din shows unique aging traits such as reddish, pinkish, or dark specks, natural patina, and coarse texture. The artistry reflects Ayutthaya-period influences, with soft contours and flowing lines.
Spiritual Power

This amulet is highly sought after for its strong karmic cleansing and spiritual support.
Wat Chana Songkhram’s Legacy
Formerly known as Wat Klang Na, the temple was renovated during the reign of King Rama I and later renamed Wat Chana Songkhram, meaning “Victory in Battle Temple”. It became a central monastery of the Mon sect and a landmark symbolizing triumph and the protection of Buddhism.
Ritual and Blessing Ceremony
The consecration of Phra Sum Thawan Nur Din lasted three months and involved 108 senior monks. Through Vipassana meditation, Kasina practices, and chanting of protective mantras, the amulets were infused with immense spiritual energy.
