Red Thin Layer Amulets
Some of LP Parn's amulets have red thin layer surface. Some biochemical substance in clay forms such the thin layer while amulets are being under heating process. Red thin layer gives us a surface hint for an authentic amulet. Thai professional collectors call red thin layer in any baked clay amulets as "Kraab Daeng" ( Kraab = thin layer, Daeng = red ).
