This is one of those old-school talismans that serious collectors look for—not because it’s flashy, but because the story is classic Wat + classic era + classic masters. In Thai belief, the Chang (Elephant) symbol stands for steady power, dignity, and strong “presence” — the kind of energy people want when they’re building status, business, or personal authority.
Serious buyers only. If you appreciate traditional Thai talismans (เครื่องราง), this is a piece you’ll understand immediately.

Background & History
This Chang (Elephant) amulet is widely traded under the collector name “ช้างงาแกะ วัดโพธิสัมพันธ์ ปี 2518” — a carved-elephant talisman associated with Wat Phothisampan in Na Kluea, Bang Lamung, Chonburi. The commonly cited consecration year is BE2518 (1975), with Luang Pu Tim (Wat Lahanrai) as the primary master, and multiple respected monks participating in the blessing (as listed in well-known collector-market references).
In the Thai talisman world, elephant carvings are loved for their “bold but stable” symbolism: strength without aggression, command without chaos. That’s why this piece is often sought after by people who specifically collect เครื่องราง rather than standard Buddha amulets.
Collector note: Many marketplace references describe this amulet as “หาได้ยาก” (hard to find) in genuine condition. Always document the full photo set, compare carving profile, and keep provenance details clean.
