How do you see Somdet? to be smarter than the seller
This clip, 4MEENA, asks for prayers from Phra Somdet, Wat Rakhang, which is natural construction, late era, are you analyzing it right? Anyone who listens and is confused Go back and look at the content of the separation of the era of the creation of Phra Somdej You can get it earlier. Let's come to check this Phra Somdej. by looking at the old amulet The principle of examining nature at each point is still the same principle that we have always used. We will start with Buddhist art. In studying the true Buddha image, we do not use to compare prints or look for defects. that we have never seen all the molds Prints and flaws in the prints are only for determining the amulet itself to be the real amulet. to be smarter than the seller We will look at the nature on the amulet. #amulets
by having passed the age of more than 150 years.
dryness
The first thing we need to see in the old amulet is dryness. The old amulet must see the naturally occurring dryness that covers the surface. Reiterate the principles that many friends and colleagues have been listening to all along. 4MEENA will talk about the basics for considering every amulet. who just started studying will understand the basic principles of nature as well. Almost every time, 4MEENA will begin with dryness. It is very important that we see the first thing when looking at the old amulet. Touch and see with the naked eye without having to put the camera down.
withered skin
The next nature that we must see is the wilting of the Buddha image. Withering must occur in the body of the Buddha image. It's not a skin dressing to cover it up. Look at the flesh or look for the point where the Buddha's flesh is seen. Look closely at this word, 4MEENA. All I can say is to look deeper, deeper, who can understand and explain this word? please help withered meat is not just rough all over the body but must wither into waves Because the flesh of the Buddha image at every point is corroded, proliferated, wrinkled, and can split. making it uneven, tight, slippery
Through hot and cold weather every day and every night. It expands and contracts from the constantly changing weather. Shrink and expand like this for hundreds of years. We can't set a limit on what it must be like. But for sure that it is something that must happen for sure. These molecular contractions are invisible. But we can see the changes that occur as time passes on the amulet.
mass
Phra Somdej must have material, especially in the late era where there is a variety of amulets and materials. And the most important material and the heart of being a royal is the magic powder. Let's look at the nature of the material in this King.
Somdet Toh magic powder It is a fluffy, white, fluffy mass, both on the surface and under the skin.
Reddish-orange mass, brick-like color
reddish brown mineral
Crystal sand mineral, clear and opaque white. May be whitish, yellowish or pinkish. It is a quartz mineral.
Black powder or scraps of palm leaf powder It is a black spot or lump with wrinkled skin.
Shiny black grains, tight texture, are hematite or remade.
The material in the old Phra Somdet will have nature to be seen. Calcite grows around or some parts may be covered, the color looks bruised, not the fresh color, some parts have decomposition, look withered has collapsed inwards The nature of the mass is a very important point to see.
covering the skin
This amulet is a good example of the late King's study of calcite. See it erupt from the inside. borderless high-low gradient no beginning because it happened simultaneously all over the body calcite on calcite amulet meat in the groove Calcite is formed from amulet's flesh that has undergone constantly changing hot and cold weather. The moisture in the Buddha image evaporated onto the surface. And dry to leave a crystalline precipitate to cover the surface at the molecular level. and gather together to look like a stain If you can imagine being born at one point and being able to gather together Fake calcite embellishments will be seen. Regarding the wax on the amulet's body, as found in 4MEENA, the Somdet's body does not contain any ingredients that cause wax. In addition to being aragonite that can be found in amulets that do not cross heat up into spots Especially if you see that there is the same nature throughout the body. Be careful with Phra Chae dressing up the skin.
Calcite is a clear white crystal. It is a nature that must be seen in old amulets through the ages. Calcite occurs all over the Buddha image at the same time. Around the mass, especially in deep trenches that let in less moisture, more calcite accumulates. In cracked grooves or fissures, welds are welded. Or can heal your own skin like the old generation of Phra Somdej collectors He said that it was like Phra Somdet was alive because of the calcite that happened. And the healing of the skin that occurs must be natural.
