Thai amulets of the Phra Nang Phaya Buddha.
*
The Phra Nang Phaya Buddha is one of the 5 main types of Thai amulets
(said Benjakapee ) . Tradition says of these amulets that they are intended to be worn
by women to make them more charming and desirable.

A Thai expression says that a woman who wears an amulet of the Buddha
Phra Nang Phaya is “ like the queen bee in the middle of her hive ”
(i.e. it appears very superior to its potential rivals.)
