25 Buddha Sattawas
Baked Clay Amulet of Progress
One of the two greatest and most well blessed in Thailand's amulet creation history is 25 Buddha Sattawas Leela amulets. They were made in B.E.2500 in the memory of 2500 years of Buddhism and for rasing fund to build the Buddha Monthon (Buddhist Precinct). The amulets were created on that auspicious occasion, supported and sponsored by the governent.

The 25 Buddha Sattawas Leela is an amulet that has an image of  Walking Buddha on its front side. The walking Buddha in Thai belief implies onward progress. So, the amulet is great for merchants, employees or students who want to have their progress.  

Due to its important holy object, the production process and consecration ceremony were conducted at Wat Suthat, a major temple of the kingdom. All primary materials for making amulets were blessing continually three days, starting from February 9-11 B.E.2500, by 108 Great Gurus.
