• The 1977 (B.E. 2520) "Phra Phong Suphan" amulet is associated with Luang Pu Du (LP Du) of Wat Sakae, who created amulets using the original, broken Phra Phong Suphan material. "Phra Phong Suphan" release in 1977 from the original Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat location; rather, this year refers to a specific batch consecrated by LP Du. 
• History of the Original Phra Phong Suphan
• The original and highly valuable Phra Phong Suphan amulets are over 700 years old, dating back to the U-Thong period. They were discovered in the main pagoda (prang) of Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat in Suphanburi province around 1913 (B.E. 2456). These amulets are made of fine-grained clay mixed with various herbs and pollens and are one of the "Grand Five" (Benjapakee) most famous amulets in Thailand. 
• LP Du's 1977 Amulets 
• Luang Pu Du, a revered monk from Wat Sakae in Ayutthaya, was known for his meditative practices and the powerful consecration of his amulets. The specific 1977 "Phra Phong Suphan" amulets are significant because: 
• Material: They were primarily made from genuine, broken pieces of the ancient Phra Phong Suphan amulets from Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat, which LP Du acquired.
• Consecration: LP Du used his profound spiritual knowledge and meditation to consecrate these new amulets, imbuing them with protective powers (e.g., invulnerability to harm, good fortune, and charm).
