Taowesuwan Lang Yant • Nur Phong • BE2512
Luang Pu Tee • Wat Khao Khieo Phanaram, Suphanburi
Main obverse — Taowesuwan, guardian of the North, in firm, protective stance.
Historical Significance
Produced in BE2512 (1969 CE) by Luang Pu Tee of Wat Khao Khieo Phanaram, this Lang Yant edition combines the fearsome vigilance of Taowesuwan with a reverse yantra schema. It reflects Central Thailand’s late-60s trend of powder-based guardian pims designed for daily carriage and household enshrinement.
Obverse — strong relief and compact fields typical of late-BE2510s molds.
Contextual Insight: Taowesuwan (Vaiśravaṇa/Kuvera) represents disciplined guardianship and just authority. Pairing his image with a Lang Yant reverse blends vigilant protection with geometric invocation, a hallmark of Central-region craft in the period.
