What we present today is far from an ordinary amulet by Luang Pu Tim. This remarkable piece is known as Phra Pidta “Poom Pui” from the highly revered Chinbanchon Batch.. Widely recognised throughout the Thai amulet industry as the NUMBER 1 Phra Pidta ever created by Luang Pu Tim of Wat Lahan Rai.

For seasoned collectors, the words “Chinbanchon Batch” require little introduction.

Created in B.E. 2517 (1974 A.D.), the Chinbanchon Batch is universally regarded as Luang Pu Tim’s most important and TOP TIERED amulet batches. It represents the pinnacle of his creations and remains one of the most sought-after batches among highly learned collectors worldwide.

There were a total of 4 variants that made up the batch:

1. Phra Kring
2. Phra Chai Wat
3. Phra Pidta “Poom Pui”
4. Phra Sangkachai

It is known as the TOP 4 amulets by Luang Pu Tim and they are extremely sought after by collectors all over the world!

The featured piece today is the celebrated Phra Pidta “Poom Pui” variant.

The term “Poom Pui” loosely translates to “chubby” or “plump,” affectionately referencing the rounded and distinctive proportions of the image itself. Its charming aesthetic, combined with its historical significance and rarity, has elevated this variant into one of the most iconic Phra Pidta images in modern Thai amulet history.

Unlike many other issues which were produced in multiple material variants, the Phra Pidta Poom Pui was created in only one single material: Nawaloha.

A total of merely 1,600 pieces were ever produced.

While that number may appear sizeable on paper, locating an example today in truly exceptional condition is extraordinarily difficult. These amulets were produced over half a century ago using primitive casting techniques, where inconsistencies during the casting process frequently resulted in incomplete details, uneven surfaces, air bubbles, or softened features. As such, fully complete and aesthetically pleasing examples represent only a small minority of surviving pieces.

This featured specimen stands firmly among those exceptional few.

The casting quality is outstanding, with complete and beautifully defined features throughout the entire image. The surface texture has also matured magnificently over time, developing a rich and naturally oxidised character that can only be achieved through decades of untouched ageing.

In our opinion, this is unquestionably one of the finest examples we have encountered in a very long time.

Extremely collectible, historically important, and increasingly difficult to acquire in such beautiful original condition, the Phra Pidta Poom Pui Chinbanchon remains one of the true cornerstone pieces for serious collectors of Luang Pu Tim amulets.

INCLUSIVE OF A CUSTOM MADE DIAMOND ENCRUSTED SOLID GOLD OPEN/CLOSE CASING!
