Thai Phra Somdej amulets.

Thai amulets of Buddha Phra Somdej.

Thai Phra Somdej Amulets (also called Phra Somdet )
were originally invented by the Most Venerable Somdej Phra Putthajarn
( Ajarn Toe Prommarangsi ) who lived from 1788 to 1872
and was the superior of Wat Rakhang
(Wat Rakhangkhositaram) in Bangkok.

This type of amulet represents a very stylized Buddha
and is in some way "the queen of amulets of Thailand",
every collector of Thai amulets must have one,
and in Thailand if someone wears only one amulet,
most often it is a Phra Somdej .

Unlike other types of amulets,
Phra Somdej do not have ONE unique effect / power
(like fortune, health, charm...)
but their effect assists and protects their wearer in all types of situations.
