Fine Texture & Linear Cracks |
From the above pic: 1 = looming linear crack 2 = natural linear crack due to dryness and shrinkage of the amulet mixture substance (mostly shell lime ). 7-tiered Somdej KesChaiyo was made and blessed by Somdej Phra Phutdhacharn (Toh) of Wat Rakang with high age of nearly 150 years. Quite a long time gradual dryness resulted cracks with specific linear patterns. |
7-tiered Somdej KesChaiyo Phim Niyom with very fine texture, tiny materials on the surface are scarcely found. The amulet mixture substance of this kind is porcelain like in some degree. |
