This stunning and historically significant Gilded Phra Pidta was consecrated by the venerable Luang Phor Khai of Wat Choeng Len (Wat Bophit Phimuk) circa 1917 (B.E.2460). Crafted using his legendary "Itthije" powder formula, this piece is a masterpiece of Thai spiritual alchemy. The sacred composition includes powdered ancient Khoi scriptures, weathered palm leaf manuscripts, and meticulously erased yantra powders, all bound together with authentic "Rak" (black lacquer). The material is further enriched with a blend of auspicious botanical elements, including bael, gooseberry, and kaffir lime leaves, mixed with canna flower pollen, creating a unique and powerful spiritual essence.

The iconography of this large-print (Pim Yai) sculpture features the Buddha in a meditative seated posture, with arms held close together and hands covering the face in a serene, fingerless style. The distinct characteristics of the Wat Choeng Len school are evident in the narrow hips and the slightly asymmetrical elbow alignment, where the left sits lower than the right. The reverse features the classic "Cabchon" (convex) back, typical of this prestigious early 20th-century edition. Traditionally blessed to bring success in business, job prosperity, and wealth, it also serves as a formidable shield of protection for its keeper.
