SoomRuenkaew
Wat SamNgam, Early 2500s

Dimensions: 2.5 X 4.0 cm

These are nice LP Tae KhunPaen SoomRuenkaew of early 2500s. The Buddha image's facial organs are sharp and clear and in complete condition.

SoomRuenkaew is the specific extension name which means a temple-roof-like housing shaded over the sitting Buddha image.

In the old days it's easy to find a LP Tae KhunPaen SoomRuenkaew both plain back and LP Tae's name stamped back.

Cunning amulet "merchants" pushed the stamped-back items to much more higher price making more profit by selling them as "LP Tae's" while selling plain-back items as "LP Daeng's" (of Wat Thungkok, Suphanburi).

Actually, LP Tae (B.E.2434-2524) and LP Daeng (B.E.2440-2510) were friends of each other. LP Daeng was 6 years junior to LP Tae and called LP Tae as "Luang Pee" (elder brother monk). Their temples are not faraway.

Both LP Tae and LP Daeng often went into deep jungles to find woods for temple construction.

LP Tae helped support LP Daeng by presenting a part of his plain-back amulets to LP Daeng to raise fund for temple construction. So, this was misunderstandably assumed that the plain-back items were created by LP Daeng.

LP Tae was a close disciple of LP Dha of Wat Paniang Taek, a pre-war great Guru of NakonPathom Province. In around B.E.2470, a few years after LP Dha's passing away, LP Tae went to learn higher Dhamma, incantation knowledge and GMT making from LP Chaem of Wat Takong who was a greatest Guru in the WWII period.

LP Tae created and blessed various molds and content of Khunpaen amulets. The above KhunPaen SoomRuenKaew is a standard and well-known item of LP Tae.

LP Tae passed away in B.E. 2524 at the age of 90.
