Phra Pidta Song Na • Nur Meghasiddhi • BE2519
Luang Phor Wan • Wat Phutthaisawan
Main overview — the classic Song Na (two-faced) Phra Pidta form in Nur Meghasiddhi, consecrated in BE2519 by Luang Phor Wan of Wat Phutthaisawan.
Historical & Lineage Significance
Phra Pidta is among the most beloved categories in Thai amulet culture, known for the symbolic act of “closing the eyes” (ปิดตา) — turning inward to cultivate calm, restraint, and protection from worldly obstacles. The Song Na (สองหน้า / two-faced) format adds an extra layer of meaning: protection and stability in both directions — front and back, seen and unseen, known and unexpected.
This piece is attributed to Luang Phor Wan of Wat Phutthaisawan and dated BE2519 (1976 CE). Collectors value BE2519-era pieces for their maturity of craftsmanship and the strong “old-school” material character that is difficult to replicate convincingly.

Front view — primary face of the Song Na composition, showing the Pidta posture and surface tone.
Back view — the second face of Song Na; collectors study this side for authenticity, mould integrity and ageing.
Side view — thickness, edge wear and mould line behavior; these angles often reveal “truth” more than the face.
Side view (2) — confirms curvature, material density and surface continuity without suspicious tool marks.
Size reference — coin comparison helps collectors verify scale and visual proportion of the mould.
Certificate — documentary support that strengthens collector confidence and provenance clarity.
Materials & Craftsmanship Notes
Nur Meghasiddhi (เนื้อเมฆสิทธิ์) is often described by Thai collectors as a “mystical” class of material — associated with the idea of rare, protective alloy energy. In practice, amulets labeled Nur Meghasiddhi typically show a distinctive dark metallic tone, layered surface sheen, and a compact “heavy” visual density. For this Song Na piece, the most important study points are:
- Surface continuity: natural ageing looks calm and organic, never harsh or artificially etched.
- Edge behavior: genuine old pieces tend to soften at the edges with time, not sharp “new” lines.
- Two-face symmetry: Song Na should feel balanced in thickness and curvature — not warped or uneven.
- Mould integrity: key posture proportions stay consistent across front/back without distortion.
Spiritual Purpose (Buddha-Vichee Perspective)
In Thai practice, Pidta is valued for “closing off” negativity — not as avoidance, but as inner mastery: staying calm when provoked, staying protected when surrounded by noise. Devotees often seek Pidta for:
- Klaew Khlad (แคล้วคลาด): avoiding accidents and escaping harm.
- Protection from bad influence: reducing spiritual “interference”, jealousy and ill intent.
- Workplace stability: staying composed, less affected by politics and conflict.
- Wealth guarding: keeping money from “leaking” through poor decisions or negative cycles.
The Song Na aspect is often interpreted as protection that “covers both sides” — helpful for those in business, negotiations, leadership roles, or anyone facing shifting environments and unpredictable people.
Collector Notes & Rarity Appeal
For serious collectors, Pidta pieces are judged not only by name but by the “feel” of the work: the harmony of posture, the naturalness of ageing, and the credibility of the material. A well-preserved BE2519 Song Na with clear photo references (front/back/sides/scale) and supporting documentation tends to be held as a long-term cornerstone piece — suitable for both wearing and study.
