Professional Techniques:
Phra Somdej Wat Rakang
Phim Yai (Ok Vee)
Fine Texture (1)
Most part of surface of the above Somdej has fine texture, and rough materials have been seen scattered. Even it carries some rough materials on its surface, we yet categorize the amulet as fine-textured type when compare to the real rough type which carries densed, granulated materials. The often-touched, worn areas such as chest, arms, legs, and bases has impressively soft look like old & used soap rock. If getting chance to view real items a few times, you will understand thoroughly the comparative description; BTW the super big pic will help much on study. From the above pointings:

1. Horizontal cracks are often found on the bell line.
2.& 3. Upper arms is not vertically straight but slightly curved.
