Luang Phor Kaew Phrommasaro dating history

Details

Luang Pho Kaew (Thai: หลวงพ่อแก้ว; 1850–1919, B.E. 2393–2462) was one of the most venerated Buddhist monks and meditation masters of the Mae Klong River region. He was renowned for his spiritual power and mastery of sacred arts long before the era of other famous masters such as Luang Pu Khong Dhammachoto of Wat Bang Kaphom and Luang Phor Bai Thammachoto of Wat Chong Lom. His sacred objects, including various amulets, talismans, and cast medals, are highly respected. Among them, the most famous is the first issue of his cast portrait coin (Wat Block), created in 1916 (B.E. 2459). Other notable designs include Buddha images from the same year and amulets with bald-headed and pointed-head styles, all reputed for their protective power and invulnerability (kongkrapan).
