Pra Roop Lor LP Ngern Wat Bang Klan Nuea Nga Silver Casing

Description

The ivory reveals the signs of at least 100 years of ageing through the cracks appearing in the surface of the patina, a natural effect which happens over time with ivory amulets, and which adds to the beauty and in addition. also brings ease of visual authentication for the student. Free silver casing is included which is removable for inspection of competition entry.

Judging from Patina, the amulet is assumed to have been in contact with skin for many decades to attain such a yellowing of the Patina. Ivory remains creamy white unless it ages over very long periods, and even more so when in contact with the skin, which affects the ivory through perspiration and body temperature changes.

I (Ajarn Spencer) would assume this to be from Luang Por Noi of Wat Kongkaram (Wat Bang Klan, maker of the original LP Ngern Amulet), for the quality of Artisanry being that of a Royal State Artisan (visible from the delicate handiwork and exactitude of likeness), and would say this is a classic amulet that any Thai Buddhist would be extremely reverent to possess and wear.

LP Ngern is renowned for Kong Grapan and for Wealth Accumulation (the surname ‘Ngern’ meaning ‘Money’ or ‘Silver’), which is attributed through the many stories of miraculous experiences with amulets in the image of Luang Por Ngern.

Why I collect wood and ivory artifacts;

Ivory carved amulets are not only sacred amulets which i revere, but also museum pieces, from an era when ivory was still possible to obtain, and no bans were yet necessary. For in this day and age, much like rare tree-woods, we can expect the future to see no such things as real paper books, ivory and wood carved items, and most things will be plastic or artificial. Whoever possesses such artifacts in the future, will be in possession of priceless artifacts, than nobody else will be able to obtain (i mean could you buy a T-Rex skeleton or a Dodo skeleton for your living room? – perhaps, but only for a sky-high price).
